Reimagining Urban Truth -- 8. Conclusions.This book traces and analyses the role of heritage in the urban transformation of the city of Cape Town. By looking at discourses of heritage and urban design, the book shows how Cape Town positions itself as an emerging global city in the context of a series of global events. The book points at how a heritage focus on the themes of post-colonial and post-apartheid reconciliation, restitution and memory in the city shifts to a focus on creativity, design and the arts. Thereby showing how traumatic remnants of colonialism and apartheid are reframed as “design challenges”. Furthermore, it argues that the idea of a transformed society is projected into a future time and the chaotic present everyday life is left to its own devices. Against this backdrop, the book lays out the opportunities for epistemological reset and decolonial reflection on the city’s deep histories, its embedded injustices and traumas that surfaced. .Studies in Art, Heritage, Law and the Market,2524-7433 ;2LawPhilosophyLawHistoryCultural propertyCities and townsHistoryArchaeologyAfricaHistoryHuman rightsTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal HistoryCultural HeritageUrban HistoryHeritage ManagementAfrican HistoryHuman RightsLawPhilosophy.LawHistory.Cultural property.Cities and townsHistory.Archaeology.AfricaHistory.Human rights.Theories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History.Cultural Heritage.Urban History.Heritage Management.African History.Human Rights.307.3416Ernsten Christian1073360MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910506404003321Colonial Heritage and Urban Transformation in the Global South2569507UNINA
