GAUTENG
CULTUREMaboneng Precinct
Johannesburg's best-known urban revival district
Maboneng helped define Johannesburg's image as a creative, constantly reinventing city. Warehouses and older buildings were adapted into design studios, cafés, restaurants, apartments and arts spaces, making the precinct a magnet for weekend visitors and curious travelers. It has changed over the years, but it still offers a useful window into the city's contemporary urban culture.
