Three case studies were used to undertake the above assessment. The case-studies included a proposed Bus Rapid Transit interchange in Soweto, a proposed Metrorail station in Khayelitsha, Cape Town and an interchange on the proposed PWV9 Highway near Diepsloot, Johannesburg. The paper outlines an alternative method to measuring the extent of value creation that is based on a forward-looking, feasibility approach rather than the historic, hedonic approach that is conventionally used. Through this method, the paper shows that the extent of value creation is likely to be dependent on the type of interchange developed and the context in which the development of the interchange takes place. Taking the South African institutional and legal context into account, and through an analysis of internationally used value-capture mechanisms, the paper suggests that only a number of these recognised mechanisms will be able to be used to capture the value at these particular interchanges.12 pagesPDFenUniversity of PretoriaTransport infrastructureGlobal value capture mechanismsBus Rapid TransitSowetoKhayelitshaCape TownPWV9 highwayTransportationTransportation -- AfricaTransportation -- Southern AfricaPresentation
