Climate Justice or Climate Apartheid? The justice trade-offs of private solar investments for South Africa's just transition
Substituting for the State: The Sovereignty Impacts of Diverse Citizens’ Off‐grid Infrastructure Strategies in South Africa
In South Africa, citizens in both low‐ and high‐income areas are increasingly providing their own services to mitigate the unreliability, unaffordability and inaccessibility of state services. This article examines diverse case studies across socio‐economic and residential typologies to explore shifts in service provision responsibilities from the state to the citizen. Applying an interdisciplinary approach, this article considers the political i…
Spatializing Women's Everyday Access to Energy: An Intra‐urban Comparison of the Gender Energy Nexus in Lahore, Pakistan
The disparate distribution of energy and housing infrastructures in many megacities of the global South raises issues of equity and spatial justice, particularly for women. An intra‐urban comparison helps unpack the specific socio‐spatial characteristics of the gender–energy nexus, particularly in low‐income neighbourhoods that represent one form of peripheral urbanization. This article contributes to the limited literature on low‐income urban wo…
Broadening the landscape of post-network cities: A call to research the off-grid infrastructure transitions of the non-poor
Within urban studies, the emerging post-network approach explores infrastructure transitions towards hybrid mixing of grid and off-grid technologies, resources, services, and actors. However, scholarship addressing off-grid transitions in the global south focuses almost exclusively on the poor as non-networked infrastructure consumers. This paper adopts a landscape perspective to consider broader processes of technological, institutional and beha…
Is the grid people or product? Relational infrastructure networks in Cape Town's energy-housing nexus
Although urban infrastructure is widely recognized as a physical-material representation of socio-political processes, infrastructure networks remain overwhelmingly conceived as technological reticulation systems that distribute services. While post-networked infrastructure debates highlight hybrid and heterogeneous infrastructure configurations, debates remain framed by implicit assumptions that the “network” is primarily the physical grid. Furt…
Infrastructural citizenship: Conceiving, producing and disciplining people and place via public housing, from Cape Town to Stoke-on-Trent
This paper examines public housing as an art of government to conceive, produce and discipline a normative ideal of ‘good’ citizenship through people and place. Using the framework of infrastructural citizenship, case studies from state-subsidised homeownership programmes in Cape Town (South Africa) and Stoke-on-Trent (UK) demonstrate how public housing provides a physical mediator for the politicisation of citizenship. Infrastructural citizenshi…
Afterword: Citizenship and the politics of (im)material stigma and infrastructure
This afterword to the Urban Vulnerabilities: Infrastructure, Health and Stigma special issue highlights two cross-cutting themes that are addressed by all the articles in the issue, and that have the potential to make a significant contribution to debates within urban studies. First, I reflect on how the articles reveal the inseparable connections between infrastructure and stigma, demonstrating both as political and material processes that are i…
Navigating the challenges of fieldwork and childcare: Revisiting ‘muddy glee’
This commentary emerges from our collective interest in, and reflections on, the multiple ways in which parents working within Development Geography in UK academia negotiate the complexities of combining periods of overseas fieldwork with family life. Here, we bring our varied experiences of navigating these challenges (emotional, bureaucratic, and practical) into conversation with Bracken and Mawdsley's ‘Muddy glee,’ highlighting the ways in whi…
Why do low-income urban dwellers reject energy technologies? Exploring the socio-cultural acceptance of solar adoption in Mumbai and Cape Town
Is (in)access to infrastructure driven by physical delivery or weak governance? Power and knowledge asymmetries in Cape Town, South Africa
Infrastructural citizenship: (De)constructing State–society Relations
In this Viewpoint I introduce the analytical framework of Infrastructural Citizenship using examples from my research in contemporary South Africa. This is not a tightly defined concept but a broad heuristic tool to connect critical scholarship on infrastructure and citizenship that has been divided by disciplinary. Essentially, I argue that citizenship is embodied in infrastructure for both citizens and the state. For citizens, the state is mate…
Childcare and academia: An intervention
In this Viewpoint, we engage with the everyday politics of academia – specifically, how caring for young children continues to affect academic work and career trajectories in ways that could be better mitigated. This viewpoint piece collates the personal accounts of six development scholars who discuss their experiences of negotiating both academia and childcare, covering fieldwork, funding, career trajectories, sharing parental responsibilities …
Covid-19 responses: Infrastructure inequality and privileged capacity to transform everyday life in South Africa
Throughout the early months of 2020, COVID-19 rapidly changed how the world functioned, with the closure of borders, schools and workplaces, national lockdowns, and the rapid normalization of “self-isolation” and “social distancing”. However, while public health recommendations were broadly universal, human capacity to accordingly transform everyday life has differed significantly. We use the example of South Africa to highlight the privileged na…
The lived experiences of the African middle classes Introduction
What are the experiences of the African middle classes, and what do their experiences tell us about social change on the continent? While there have been ample attempts to demarcate the parameters of this social group, the necessary work of tracing the social life and social relations of the middle classes is just beginning. The articles in this special issue provide compelling accounts of the ways in which the middle classes are as much made thr…
Global S outh/ N orth
A variety of labels are used to categorize the world: First/Third, East/West, developing/developed, and recently Global South/North. While most urban theory derives from Global North cities, contemporary urbanization is primarily situated in the Global South. This urban theory/practice spatial divergence has been critiqued by postcolonial scholars. Furthermore, while urban theory based on examples and empirical trends from the Global North are fr…
Infrastructural citizenship: The everyday citizenships of adapting and/or destroying public infrastructure in Cape Town, South Africa
This paper develops infrastructural citizenship as an analytical framework that bridges geography's sub‐disciplinary silos. While urban geography promotes infrastructure as a core lens for understanding the city, recognising that political struggles are mediated through infrastructure, discourses of citizenship are rarely employed. Similarly, while political and development geography promote citizenship as vital in understanding socio‐political l…
Unequal citizenship in unequal cities: Participatory urban governance in contemporary South Africa
Participatory governance has become a mainstream feature of city management, endorsed by governments and aid agencies as a platform for state-civil society engagement. Despite this popularity, criticisms are rife, focusing on agency problems of implementation alongside fundamental concerns related to structural power asymmetries. However, remarkable in its absence from these debates is the active role played by the urban spatial and temporal stru…
Citizens in the middle class: The interstitial policy spaces of South Africa's housing gap

Hybrid gentrification in South Africa: Theorising across southern and northern cities
This paper reveals how urban theories traditionally rooted in northern cities and academies are challenged and redeveloped by southern perspectives. Critiques of urban theory as narrowly northern (or Anglo-American) have recently emerged, spawning the comparative urbanism movement that calls for urban theories to be open to the experiences of all cities. Using the example of the sale of state-subsidised houses in South Africa, this research uses …
Everyday human (in)security: Rescaling for the Southern city
While human security approaches emphasize top-down security concerns and strategies, urban dwellers in the global South experience (in)security in much more immediate and tangible forms, grounded, for example, in citizens’ perceptions and fears related to the security of their lifestyles and cultures, as well as their physical, financial and tenure security. Thus, while human security research and policy focuses on security concerns that occur at…
The ‘missing middle’: Class and urban governance in Delhi’s unauthorised colonies
This research critically engages with existing theories of class and urban governance, and is empirically located in Delhi, India. The paper argues that existing theories of urban participatory governance in the global South, which polarise urban citizens and their mobilisation strategies into the elite, typically understood as guilty of ‘capturing’ participatory structures; and the poor, conceptualised as excluded from formal governance mechanis…
Access and assessment? Incentives for independent study
This paper explores incentives for students to engage with continuous learning outside the classroom, i.e. independent study. Two questionnaires were completed with undergraduate students, asking them quantitative and qualitative questions regarding their engagement (or lack thereof) with weekly readings which are non‐assessed and non‐monitored. The questionnaires identified that the majority of students do not complete the readings despite a con…
New South Africa Review 1: 2010: Development or decline
The New South Africa Review 2010 is the first edition of a new series emerging as a semi-renewal of the 1980–90s South African Review texts which addressed the changing nature of state–society relations during the demise of apartheid and early democracy. This new series aims to assess how South Africa is coping, 15 years since the advent of democracy, with the combined pressures of economic development and social transformation – a broad and ambi…
Moving up the Ladder or Stuck on the Bottom Rung? Homeownership as a Solution to Poverty in Urban South Africa: Homeownership as a solution to poverty in South Africa
In the global South, policies providing property titles to low-income households are increasingly implemented as a solution to poverty. Integrating poor households into the capitalist economy using state-subsidized homeownership is intended to provide poor people with an asset that can be used in a productive manner. In this article the South African 'housing subsidy system' is assessed using quantitative and qualitative data from in-depth resear…

A new apartheid? The spatial implications of fear of crime in Cape Town, South Africa
This paper examines the fear of crime in post-apartheid South Africa and its impact on urban space and form, focusing in particular on Cape Town. South African statistics point to alarming increases in serious crime over recent years and, although such statistics are considered unreliable, reflecting to some extent increases in the rate of crime reporting, the public perception is nonetheless one of decreased security. Attempts to mitigate fear h…

Spaces of Exclusivity or Connection? Linkages between a Gated Community and its Poorer Neighbour in a Cape Town Master Plan Development
This paper considers the impact of urban South Africa's new spatial order on its already fragile social dynamics. Analysis considers the relationships between residents of a gated community and their neighbouring (non-gated) area, addressing both the attitudes and perceptions that exist amongst residents of each area towards the 'other' neighbourhood, as well as the nature of any direct contact between residents. The case study for this paper is …

Houses without community: Problems of community (in)capacity in Cape Town, South Africa
Literature from the global South has highlighted the role of self-organized “grassroots” groups in championing the rights of the poor, securing specific objectives (e.g. service provision) and strengthening individual and collective capacity. Less attention has been paid to what happens when a poor community is provided with services in the context of weak collective capacity and in the absence of grassroots organization. This case study describe…

The Value(s) of Space: The Discourses and Strategies of Residential Exclusion in Cape Town and Long Island
This article analyzes the discourses and strategies of residential exclusion in Cape Town and New York. Although representing vastly different regions, both case studies are historically middle-class residential areas that have recently undergone significant immigrant influx. The responses of long-term residents and local governments are explored, in particular, the role of “values” (sociocultural, physical, and economic) ascribed to space by res…
Desegregation and Integration as Linked or Distinct? Evidence from a Previously 'White' Suburb in Post-apartheid Cape Town
This article analyses whether the physical desegregation of a residential neighbourhood ultimately facilitates the social integration of its residents. Desegregation is measured quantitatively (i.e. using census data for a suburb in which no single race comprises more than 50% and at least one other racial group comprises 25%), and social integration is assessed qualitatively using indicators such as friendship, common local identity, sharing loc…

The Parallel Claims of Gated Communities and Land Invasions in a Southern City: Polarised State Responses
We identify and explore the parallels and differences between gated communities and land invasions as forms of residential territory in cities of the South. Using the case of Cape Town, South Africa, the parallel narratives regarding the reasons for invading or gating land are analysed and placed in contrast with an inconsistent state response. For while both ‘gaters' and ‘invaders' are driven by similar desires for a secure home and private auto…
