City planning is often economically driven and as a result, most poor people live far from the city center. During Apartheid, black people were forced to live in underdeveloped urban areas, called townships. Nowadays low-income people living in townships are 10 to 30 kilometers away from the city and economic center. Someone living in the townships supporting a family with a daily wage of R140 could spend R30 per day on transportation to get to work.

Additionally, computers and Internet can be difficult to access in the townships due to lack of equipment, infrastructure, low computer proficiency levels, and cost. For people in low-income communities, lack of transportation and communication are both significant barriers to finding employment or entrepreneurial opportunities.
