This book explores small town geographical aspects by approaching
them from a socio-spatial perspective. The contributions included
in this book delve into a range of topics that have not been
commonly studied before, such as white privilege, neglect of
municipal infrastructure, collaborative governance, livelihoods in
small-scale fisheries, housing provision, well-being in mining
towns, studentification in rural contexts, election trends, and the
historical development of small-town spas. The book adopts a
socio-spatial point of view, providing a holistic understanding of
the interplay between social and spatial factors within selected
small town case studies. This approach sheds light on the
socio-economic, political, and cultural dynamics that shape small
towns. This localized perspective allows for a more targeted
analysis of issues and potential solutions, taking into account the
specific historical, cultural, and political contexts of small town
South Africa. The edited volume serves as a valuable resource for
academics, policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in
understanding and improving small towns in South Africa.
