This book provides a theoretical and practical foundation needed to
change the practice of land use management in Southern Africa. It
presents an overview of alternative land use management system for
South African municipalities that is economically, socially and
environmentally more sustainable than many of the land use schemes
in effect at present. Land use management is a component of spatial
governance that controls the nature and extent of development to
prevent harmful impacts on people and the environment. As the
current system with its colonial/modernist planning and regulatory
mechanisms were never designed to deal with rapid change,
urbanisation and informality, a different form of land development
and land use management is necessary. This timely book reflects the
culmination of many years of practical experience and research into
various aspects of land use management by the authors and studies
undertaken by their master’s and doctoral students. The book goes
beyond an analysis of the problems and suggests concrete proposals
that can be applied throughout Southern Africa based on a rural to
urban transect. This book is directed to a broad range of readers
interested in spatial planning and land use management. It will be
of interest to those in the fields of geography, urban studies,
urban design, planning and architecture.
