The role secondary cities play in the global space economy and
national urban hierarchies is increasingly receiving attention from
scholars and international agencies, most notably the Cities
Alliance. Secondary Cities and Development considers the role of
secondary cities through the lens of South Africa, a middle-income
country with characteristics of both the developed and developing
worlds. This book brings together a broad overview of international
literature on secondary cities in South Africa and mirrors them
against global experience. Chapters emphasize the importance of
secondary cities as regional services areas, their potential roles
in rural development, the vulnerabilities to which they are prone
and their signifcant potential. By means of review, six South
African case studies, and an assessment of contemporary policy
approaches towards these cities, this unique volume provides
insight into a spectrum of globally significant challenges. This
book would be of interest to academics and policy makers working in
urban studies or regional development.
