Summary After returning to South Africa from years abroad, Jonathan Liebmann felt a sense of emptiness in Johannesburg and missed the urban lifestyle he experienced in other cities. In 2008, he established Propertuity, the business vehicle with which he launched an urban regeneration project known as the Maboneng Precinct. While Liebmann has seen impressive success in developing Maboneng, he still faces significant challenges in expanding the precinct and reaching his vision of rejuvenating the CBD through community integration. On the local level Liebmann has attempted to provide basic services for the community but Maboneng is in desperate need of government support to preserve its vision. Meanwhile, Liebmann's rapid success has led him to consider replicating the project in other cities, and has even started an initiative to link regeneration projects worldwide. With so many competing priorities, Liebmann is faced with a set of choices and tradeoffs about how best to build on Maboneng's popularity in the coming years
