The move to a serviced site approach to building human settlements

It appears that the Department of Human Settlements has moved from an approach based on a full top structure to what appears to be a serviced sites based approach: https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2020-12-08-sisulus-new-plan-for-informal-settlements-and-formal-housing-a-welcome-break-with-the-past/?fbclid=IwAR12ATj6LizYdebBYj6yc70yf2-oL328blenrLw4nab7o3kabay-Z_8Apao

While a serviced site approach has been around for years, this appears to shift it from the sidelines to the department's primary approach.  

What do you think some of the implications of this will be for human settlements practice?
