|
The chapter assesses the progress made since the restructuring of city government in 2000/01. The 1996 Constitution established local government as an autonomous and equal sphere in its own right, rather than a third tier of government, in recognition of its crucial role in improving people's everyday lives and promoting inclusive growth and development. In the major cities, sizeable, relativel...

A decade ago, South Africa put into practice a bold vision for metropolitan government, recognising that cities are integral to solving some of our biggest challenges. Disparate local administrations were brought together to form large citywide authorities that correspond broadly to functional economic areas.

South African cities perform a vital role inn underpinning all-round national development, despite their internal problems. Stronger economic growth in urban areas over the last decade has effectively funded the large-scale expansion of social programmes in rural areas. We seem unable to envisage a national territory that is becoming increasingly integrated, and in which different parts of th...

Reshaping the form of any city is a complex challenge because of the durability of fixed investment and the slow process of property redevelopment in countries where surrounding landowners have the right to contest any proposals for change. Transforming South African cities is proving to be doubly difficult because of the degree of social inequality inscribed into the built environment, couple...
