Abstract
South Africa is a developing country whose past administration has led to the current high levels
of inequality and poverty the country faces today. Development is a key aspect to growing the
country's economy and improving infrastructure, which is much needed to not only create jobs but
also to reduce inequality. This thesis is about housing development within the Tygerberg District
area, Cape Town, South Africa. It investigated the 'principle of the consideration of the alternative'
as outlined within the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) and the Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) rules and regulations.
