Abstract

In the development of any area the provision of roads is a vital requirement. At one underdeveloped area near Durban the opportunity arose to build a low cost, low standard road for a population who needed it but had no prospect of it ever being built. The money was provided through the Government's job creation scheme and 80 percent of it was spent on wages. A comparison is made between labour‐intensive and the conventional plant‐intensive methods of construction.
