8 Focused Points Does the planning with respect to Human Settlement seek to improve the quality of life for people with full respect for indigenous, cultural and social needs? Are the planned settlements compliant to the township establishment requirements? Are the planned settlements addressing integration and density aspect? Is the Project Pipelining Realistic, Achievable and Aligned to the National Priorities? How realistic are the set targets? Are the indicators measurable and responsive the main priority of transforming spatial geography? 8

Are the planned settlements addressing integration and density aspect?
