The book examines the changes that are taking place in modes of
thinking about heritage as part of increasingly complex urban
transformations, and considers how these must engage with, and
inform, professional practice. It also acknowledges that
international best practice has developed a great deal over the
last forty years and needs to be adapted, applied and refined
through the recognition and application of regional values -
tangible and intangible - based on cultural attitudes and
practices.

This book captures ground-breaking attempts to utilise culture in
territorial development and regeneration processes in the context
of South Africa and our 'new normal' brought by COVID-19, the
fourth industrial revolution, and climate change the world over.
The importance of culture in rural-urban revitalisation has been
underestimated in South Africa and the African continent at large.
Despite some cultural initiatives that are still at developmental
stages in big cities, such as Johannesburg, eThekwini and Cape
Town, there is concern about the absence of sustainable policies
and plans to support culture, creativity, and indigenous knowledge
at national and municipal levels. Showcasing alternative strategies
for making culture central to development, this book discusses
opportunities to shift culture and indigenous knowledge from the
peripheries and place them at the epicentre of sustainable
development and the mainstream of cultural planning, which can then
be applied in the contexts of Africa and the Global South.
Governmental institutions, research councils, civil society
organisations, private sector, and higher education institutions
come together in a joint effort to explain the nexus between
culture, economic development, rural-urban linkages, grassroots and
technological innovations. Culture and Rural-Urban Revitalization
in South Africa is an ideal read for those interested in rural and
urban planning, cultural policy, indigenous knowledge and smart
rural village model.
