Thanks again for comments! The commentary wasn't too hard because I genuinely loved it there and wanted to learn as much as I could from talking to people.
The CBD is quite massive and spreads on in high density for quite a while. To the east and west it peters to low density but to the north and south it's separated from the rest of the city by geography. As I said it's still has a lot of abandonment and decay - but not many parking lots! I have heard its come wonders in the past 10 years and the change is palpable. The whole area has the potential to be like braamfontein and maboneng. I think the BRT and gautrain are helping considerably.
