Region 3 is fairly heavily populated with the large urban centre of Sandton located in this region, however there are also many parks with large biodiversity. This area is close to Johannesburg's central business district. This area is infamous for its heavy traffic, however in preparation for the World Summit on Sustainable Development the government spent considerable sums of money investing in upgrades to the transportation network.
This economic activity in this area centres around business. There is a lot of housing in this area, and the population is 160,000.
Today, the most striking evidence that Johannesburg was a prosperous turn-of-the-century mining town is the headframe of the King Solomon Mine (discovered in 1896) and the nearby town cemetery.
Johannesburg was a highly civilized family community, with streets planned out in an orderly arrangement, a working water system that extended to residences, a social organization whose clubhouse included a billiard table and piano...the town even boasted a nine-hole golf course.
Among the town¹s buildings were boardinghouses, banks, churches, a post office, a music hall and two saloons--all occupied by a community of men, women and children who had little to do with the gambling, dance hall girls, and general rowdy living that¹s often associated with this era.
Metcourt Laurel is a friendly and extremely convenient three-star hotel situated in the magnificent Emperors Palace Complex, very close to Johannesburg International Airport.
The Garden Court O.R. Tambo International Airport (formerly Johannesburg International Airport) is conveniently located just 3 kilometres from the Airport and the East Rand's major business areas.
