This book aims to integrate effective and sustainable regional
policy with the concept of differential urbanisation. From this
research it is evident that regional policy is implemented in
reaction to certain socio-economic imbalances in a region. This
usually refers to high levels of unemployment and weakening
economic sectors in certain cities. It is proposed that regional
policy be formulated in a pro-active manner for all relevant
sectors within the urban system, given its development status.
Accordingly, urban centres that will probably see an increase in
population and economic growth, can be identified at an early stage
and developed accordingly. Similarly, urban places with weakening
economies can be supported if identified early in its stagnating
phase. The socio- economic profile of the Gauteng Metropolitan
Region showed that it has followed a pre- determined 'maturation'
pattern since the 1960s. It is also evident that the efficiency of
regional policy and the sustainability thereof is usually inversely
proportional to each other: i.e. as sustainability increases,
economic efficiency decreases.
