Apartheid remodelled the urban map of South Africa. Present moves towards a solution mean that the negation of apartheid is only the beginning. The vested interests and entrenched ideologies behind the existing pattern of property ownership survive the abolition of apartheid laws. Beyond race, class and ethnicity will continue to divide urban life. If the cities of South Africa are to serve all the people, the accelerating process of urbanization must be brought under control and harnessed to a new purpose.
