Decisions of Landlords about Their Renters and Rental Units after Disasters
Postdisaster recovery in the rental housing submarket has attracted scant attention in both policy and scholarly circles. In particular, little is known about landlords’ decisions on whether to keep their previous renters, change their rental fees, and invest in rebuilding or repair of their rental units in lower-income cities. The literature presents a monolithic understanding of landlords’ decisions, grounding them solely within economic choice…

Anne-Maria Makhulu. Making Freedom: Apartheid, Squatter Politics, and the Struggle for Home
Making Freedom: Apartheid, Squatter Politics, and the Struggle for Home focuses, variously, on “the steady expansion of periurban settlements on the outskirts of Cape Town from the 1970s to the early 2000s” (4), “a history of battles for access to the city for and on behalf of African migrants” (5) with “particular attention to practices of settlements and homemaking . . . [in] informal settlements” (11), and “getting by and making do” (130). Thi…
Communicating with disabled children when inpatients: Barriers and facilitators identified by parents and professionals in a qualitative study
BACKGROUND: Communication is a fundamental part of health care, but can be more difficult with disabled children. Disabled children are more frequently admitted to hospital than other children. AIMS: To explore experiences of ward staff and families to identify barriers and facilitators to effective communication with disabled children whilst inpatients. DESIGN: This was an exploratory qualitative study. METHODS: We consulted 25 staff working on …
Emerging Johannesburg
When Meadowlands, a township in Greater Soweto, was first estab-lished during the 1950s, the population was fairly homogeneous. As a result of the sustained economic upswing during the 1960s, a number, but not all, township residents experienced upward occupational mobility. Social differentiation increased even further over the 1980s and early 1990s. Some residents benefited from the drive toward encouraging homeownership, whereas many others si…

The Influence of Google on Urban Policy in Developing Countries
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.' In the case of urban policy in developing countries, Google not only provides information, e.g. the size of a city's population, but also knowledge, e.g. analyses of urban issues and policies. Based on research conducted between January and May 2008, we argue that googling urban policy issues contributes to hegemonic policy perspectives; that t…

International Best Practice, Enabling Frameworks and the Policy Process: A South African Case Study
In this article I analyse urban policies and policy processes that serve the needs of low-income groups in South Africa. I show how conceptions of international best practice and indicators of best practice have shaped the formulation of urban policy in the country, in particular, examining how the government has set out to address housing and municipal services backlogs. In addition, I demonstrate the key role of international development agenci…

From Mycenae to Constantinople: The Evolution of the Ancient City
Tomlinson presents studies of selected ancient cities, ranging from the earliest development of urban architecture in Europe to the imperial cities of Rome and Constantinople. It gives an account of their architecture, not merely from the art historical point of view, but as an expression of the social organisation, and political systems employed by the people who lived in them

South Africa's Urban Policy: A New Form of Influx Control
The South African government has repealed influx control for blacks living in the "non-independent homelands." Although the urban shift of the black population is increasingly accepted, controls on the supply of housing and land for housing blacks have been retained. The emphasis is now on alternative restrictions on black urbanization. The restrictions, however, contrast with the wishes of South Africa's business leadership. The 1986 "reforms" a…
South Africa: Competing Images of the Post-Apartheid State
Liberation is not necessarily at hand in South Africa. The government still has the means to, and to all appearances still intends to, enforce apartheid. Yet, the process of change has become so great that many have begun to consider questions related to the nature of the post-apartheid state. The purpose of this paper, then, is to capture at a point in time the two primary competing images of what shape that state will be. First, there are those…
Industrial Decentralisation Policy and the Prospects for the Development of South Africa's Homelands
In many respects the subject of industrial decentralisation is both a mirror and focal point of issues that predominate in South African Society at large. From its origins in the early 1960s, the state's strategy in this field has been an implement apartheird. Despite a conthinunously changing institutional and spatial framework,2 the policy remains grounded in the attempt to maintain the geographic separation of blacks and whites, by reinforcing…
