Disaster risk and development
Though South African disaster risk management legislation requires the institutionalization of disaster management in all spheres of government, it is at the local level, closest to the citizens impacted by disasters, where the responsibility for this function truly lies.

Views From the Margins
Globally, the proliferation of informal settlements continues unabated, challenging us to understand life in these risk-prone urban 'hotspots'.

Addressing this oversight, this study, undertaken in informal areas of Cape Town, South Africa, using a range of …

Complex and contested politicised identities both divided and interlinked ‘community’ and ‘state’, enmeshed in dichotomous categories such as: ‘borners’ (people hol…
