• Braamfontein - Situated just outside the Johannesburg CBD, north of the city, Braamfontein experienced a significant shift as businesses and institutions relocated to Sandton and the northern suburbs. However, unlike some parts of the inner city, it did not decline. Instead, Braamfontein has become a hub for a more informal economy.

Braamfontein was incorporated into Johannesburg as early as 1886. It has a rich history, beginning as a farm and evolving into a lively part of Johannesburg’s Central Business District. Today, the area is experiencing a revitalization.

• Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct - Located at 11 Kotze Street in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, near the western edge of Hillbrow, Constitution Hill is home to the Constitutional Court of South Africa.
• Witwatersrand (Wits) University - This museum features thousands of African artworks, ranging from historical to contemporary pieces.
• Nelson Mandela Bridge - This is the fourth of five bridges crossing the railway lines and sidings just west of Johannesburg Park Station, with the first being the Johan Rissik Bridge next to the station. Completed in 2003, it cost R38 million to construct.
• Newtown - Located in Johannesburg’s inner city, Newtown is central to the city’s regeneration and transformation. It is a sizable area bordered by railway lines to the north, the M2 highway to the south, and West Street and Quinn Street to the east and west, respectively.

The Nelson Mandela Bridge, which connects Braamfontein to Newtown, enhances accessibility by accommodating approximately 3,000 cars per hour, serving as a new gateway into the city from the north. Newtown is now a mixed-use area with a vibrant and distinctive character, especially considering its cultural facilities. It is home to the famous Market Theatre, which played a crucial role in South African theatre during the apartheid era, dedicated to non-racial theatre since 1974, when an old Edwardian market hall was transformed into a cultural venue that showcased some of the country’s finest actors and playwrights.

• Gandhi Square - Gandhi Square is a plaza in Johannesburg’s Central Business District, South Africa. It is named after the political activist and pacifist, Mahatma Gandhi.
