Many of Johannesburg’s new and trendy attractions are regeneration projects in inner city urban environ-
ments. Newtown, Maboneng, and the CBD itself spring to mind. Popular Weekend Markets with food prod-
ucts, design outlets, exhibition spaces and galleries are the Market on Main in Maboneng and the Neigh-
bour goods Market in Braamfontein. They showcase the work of emerging entrepreneurs, with an accent
on home-grown products and strong African influences. Boutique-type hotels have begun to make their ap-
pearance. Please follow these links to the URLs of some great examples: www.braamfonteing.org.za;
