African Perspectives - South Africa. City, Society, Politics and Architecture Gerhard Bruyns

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."
