  • Children and young people's access to food, education, play and leisure in times of crisis

    Open AccessLesley Andres, Paul Moawad et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society2025

    The COVID‐19 pandemic led to an unprecedented global moment when the core needs of children and young people (rights for education, food, play and leisure) were not adequately addressed, recognised from a policy perspective and to varying extents, ignored. This paper, by bringing scholarship and grey literature together, provides an integrative, international, comprehensive review and analysis of how the pandemic affected children's core needs (a…

  • Planners, blended (in)formality and a public interest of fragments

    Open AccessLesley Andres, Stuart Paul Denoon-Stevens et al.ARTICLEPlanning Practice and Research2024

    Planners need to manage the plurality of everyday living conditions faced by monetary poor communities in South African cities. Here, we develop the concept of blended (in)formality to move beyond binary approaches which classify these communities as having either formal or informal status. Drawing on McFarlane’s (2018, 2021) notion of fragments, we explore how formal planning and spontaneous unplanned urban interventions do not merely co-exist b…

  • Student Housing Satisfaction at a South African University

    Job Taiwo Gbadegesin, Lochner Marais et al.ARTICLEJournal of Student Affairs…2022

    Universities worldwide have seen an expansion of students. We surveyed 1,193 students at the University of the Free State and conducted interviews and focus groups to better understand the factors that contribute to housing satisfaction. Satisfaction depended on a range of environmental factors, particularly noise levels, rules, security, privacy, and the standard of maintenance, rather than on the norms and standards that relate to design issues…

  • Health and wellbeing in urban South Africa

    Ruth Massey, Ruth T Massey et al.ARTICLESouth African Geographical Journal2022

    The health and wellbeing of residents in South Africa’s towns and cities are currently threatened by the burden of disease, high incidences of crime/violence, and increasing economic, social, and environmental inequality. The impact of past and present spatial exclusion has exacerbated high levels of poverty and ill health, and the rapid rise in urbanization has put further pressure on already strained urban systems. While significant progress ha…

  • Theory versus Practice in Planning Education

    Open AccessStuart Paul Denoon-Stevens, Lesley Andres et al.ARTICLEPlanning Practice and Research2022

    This paper reflects on the ongoing debate between theory and practice in planning, using the example of South Africa. Based on survey responses, it discusses how planning education in South Africa is perceived to prepare students for practice. While we acknowledge that the majority of respondents view their planning education positively, the results reveal challenges regarding the practical application of theory, especially in the case of land-us…

    Deirdre van Rooyen, Philippe Burger et al.BOOKCoal and Energy in South Africa2021

    This book forms part of a larger research project at the University of the Free State (UFS) in South Africa that is investigating the consequences of mining for local communities and mining towns. The book analyses the current situation in Emalahleni and considers the likelihood of a just transition across a range of fields. The case study of the mining city of Emalahleni (‘place of coal’) in South Africa, formerly Witbank, both exemplifies and i…

  • Planning out abjection? The role of the planning profession in post-apartheid South Africa

    Open AccessPhil Ian Jones, Lesley Andres et al.ARTICLEPlanning Theory2021Citada por: 2Referencias: 32

    For Kristeva (1982) the abject not only caused visceral disgust but posed a threat to the established order of society. The abject is a product of particular times and places but limited attention has been given to understanding the process of transitioning away from abject status. We address this gap here through an examination of the planning profession in post-apartheid South Africa. The paper examines how the abject is fluid and resilient, ev…

  • Challenges, opportunities and legacies

    David Adams, Lesley Andres et al.ARTICLETown Planning Review2020

    Drawing on interviews with selected UK planning academics and survey results from current planning practitioners, this article provides valuable and timely perspectives on how internationalisation is experienced by those within and beyond the immediate institutional context. Although internationally focused planning education helps planners tackle the manifold urban challenges in the global South, the article goes on to argue that relational appr…

  • Negotiating polyvocal strategies

    Open AccessLesley Andres, Phil Ian Jones et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2020

    The Practice of Everyday Life (de Certeau M (1984) The Practice of Everyday Life. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press) has become a canonical text in urban studies, with de Certeau’s idea of tactics having been widely deployed to understand and theorise the everyday. Tactics of resistance were contrasted with the strategies of the powerful, but the ways in which these strategies are operationalised were left ambiguous by de Certeau and h…
