This volume of the Delft School of Design series focuses on the South African urban context, seeking to construct a contemporary critical dialogue of current spatial practices in relation to social, political and governance structures. The contributors―academics, urban historians, architects, policy makers―reflect on the possible paths forward. The book is divided into thematic sections: “Other Urbanisms,” “Tradition, Culture and Education,” “Urban Design, Civic Action and Agency in South Africa” and “Future Perspectives.”
