Inflection Point/Decoloniality

If law and spatial planning practices were complicit in the production of racialised and fragmented spaces during the colonial and apartheid era, to what extent (if at all) have these two disciplines, or practices, contributed to the reconstruction and/or transformation of post-apartheid cities?

If law and spatial planning practices were complicit in the production of racialised and fragmented spaces during the colonial and apartheid era, to what extent (if at all) have these two disciplines, or practices, contributed to the reconstruction and/or transformation of post-apartheid cities? This book sought to address this primary question, which was predicated on the assumption that law and planning contributed to the making of urban geographies of inequality in colonial/apartheid South Africa. It has also sought to examine the extent to which legislative and planning measures have reconstituted or transformed post-apartheid cities.
