DURBAN’S FUTURE
BIG REBUILDING SCHEME An ambitious town-planning scheme for Durban, estimated to cost £250,000, which will remodel the centre of the city and drive a new main road through the shopping centre, is now uner consideration by the City Council. The scheme involves 'the pulling down of some of Durban’s biggest shops, and it is suggested that these properties should be bought by the council and the sites resold after the street alterations have been, made. At the moment Durban’s shopping centre is concentrated in two long parallel streets, and it is proposed to extend it by cutting a new cross-street between them. This would, of course, provide a larger area of street frontage in the centre of the city.
