3 For a better built environment 3 The Definition and Centrality of the Built Environment The term built environment refers to the structures, and infrastructure, that are made by humans. Built Environment “ every structure that is humanly created, modified, or constructed, arranged, or maintained. Construction is the broad process/mechanism for the creation of infrastructure that supports development. The built environment (which includes buildings, infrastructure, and transportation, energy and telecommunications networks and equipment) plays a crucial role in societies and economies. The provincial and local governments alike allocate considerable financial, technical and human resources for construction, management and maintenance of the built environment to ensure its physical integrity and durability. Our dependence on various infrastructure, and the high degree of interdependence between different types of infrastructure, makes us more vulnerable when they break down or fail. Depending on their location, some infrastructure and segments of networks can be critical; a system or infrastructure failure can result in serious consequences for the population and country, countries and the whole continent. In South Africa, BE environment skills are at the centre of govt’s infrastructure roll-out programme, also, the BE products that are at the centre of service delivery protests.

Slow pace of transformation in built environment professions demographics. Focused interventions at school level, tertiary level, candidacy phase and workplace training, skills pipeline approach. (A transformation implementation model & a workplace training model to drive transformation, as well as progress to date; are included in the next 3 slides.) Lack of research infrastructure.Provision of research infrastructure and expertise. Legal - Finalisation of the BE Policy that suggests the repeal of the CBE Act. Amendment of CBE Act by DPW.
