African Perspectives focuses on particular urban questions related to the South African urban context. The book seeks to construct a contemporary critical dialogue of current spatial practices and contemporary design instruments in relation to social, political and governance structures through an architectural and urban lens. A number of discourses and dialogues are included within the general debate in order to confront the trajectories of a well-known historical legacy with that of a current South African urban reality. The contributors, who include academics, urban historians, architects and policy makers, all widely published authors, share their experience, deliver analytical insights and reflect on the possible paths forward.
