South African urbanism during the past decade in most respects reflects some of the most innovative policy and institutional narratives and maneuvers applied to cities anywhere. From integrated development planning, cross-subsidization of urban services, the massive overhaul of local authorities to the selective deployment of infrastructure projects to facilitate social integration, interventions have substantially remade the urban landscape with limited capital budgets and enormous challenges embedded in highly fractured and discordant cities. Yet in significant ways, the Apartheid city past is as indicative of general urban futures as the repairs and innovations of the past decade.KeywordsUrban ResidentUrban LandscapeUrban SystemCentral Business DistrictSouth African CityThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
