Urban governance as a term captures the complex interaction between
stakeholders or groupings that influence urban development. In
South Africa, this complexity emerged with the transition from
apartheid over two decades ago. Today, governance influences
priorities in a wide range of urban domains, from public transport
to policing; from engagements at the neighbourhood level to
city-wide strategies. In different configurations, urban governance
shapes innercity districts and gated estates on the urban
periphery. The contributors to this volume cover urban governance
in contemporary South Africa across three spheres, the state, the
community and the private sector, through a variety of lenses.
Spatial concerns are central to many of the analyses and case
studies, in which the authors highlight different modes that
influence the steering of South Africa's largest cities. This book
illuminates post-apartheid tensions and urban dynamics in a way
that will be of value to scholars, practitioners, decision-makers,
politicians and activists alike.
