This book assesses spatial planning in the second-tier cities of the country. Secondary cities are vital as they perform essential regional, and in some cases, global economic roles and help to distribute the population of a country more evenly across its surface. Apartheid planning left South African cities fragmented segregated and with low densities. Post-apartheid policies aim to reverse these realities by emphasising integration, higher densities and upgrading. Achieving these aims has been challenging and often the historical patterns continue. The evidence shows that two opposing patterns prevail, namely increased densities and continued urban sprawl. This book presents ten case studies of spatial planning and spatial transformation in secondary cities of South Africa. The book frames these case studies against complexity theory and suggests that the post-apartheid response to apartheid planning represents a linear deviation from history. The ten case studies then reveal how difficult it is for local decision-makers to find appropriate responses and how current responses often result in contradictory results. Often these cities are highly vulnerable and they find it difficult to plan in the context of uncertainty. The book also highlights how these cities find it difficult to stand on their own against the influence of interest groups (property developers, mining companies, traditional authorities, other spheres of government). The main reasons include weak municipal finance statements, the dependence on national and provincial government for capital expenditure, limited investment in infrastructure maintenance, the lack of planning capacity, the inability to implement plans and the unintended and sometimes contrary outcomes of post-apartheid planning policies.City & town planning - architectural aspectsbicsscSecondary citiesspatial transformationSecondary cities and research and policy in South Africaspatial planningPost-apartheid spatial policycomplex spacesComplex adaptive systemsSocioecological systemsImplications for planning in complex systemsAdaptive co-evolutionCollaborative and adaptive planning and leadershipUrban sprawlGated estatesDrakenstein Municipality’s spatial problemssprawlPolicy for spatial containmentSpatial planning for the Limpopo energy hubMining booms and bustsSettlement planning and housing policy for mining townsInfrastructureSpatial changeSpatial transformation and complexityComplexity of planning in MahikengPlanning in a difficult spacePolicy and planning frameworksDemographicsPlanning for spatial transformationMatjhabeng: planning in the face of the Free State Goldfields declineContext and changes in MatjhabengWelkom’s economy and global market forcesSpatial changes in Matjhabeng1990–2013Spatial planning in Matjhabeng: 1994–2018The 2005/2006 spatial development frameworkThe 2013 spatial development frameworkThe 2015 Matjhabeng by-lawsPrecinct plansrealistic plans in a situation of economic stagnationMbombela: a growing provincial capital and tourism destinationSpatial and population changeMunicipal infrastructureMain spatial challengesSpatial priorities and plansN4 Maputo corridorParticipatory planningBalancing urban and rural land developmentIntegrated developmentMsunduzi: spatially integrating Kwazulu-Natal’s diverse capitalthe contribution of the spatial development framework to spatial transformationFactors affecting spatial change in Polokwane Local MunicipalitySettlement hierarchyCorridors and transportationWater and sanitation infrastructureSpatial planning problems in RustenburgInternal dynamics that hinder spatial transformationExternal dynamics that hinder spatial transformationQuality of the spatial development framework and planning processSpatial planning and complexity lessonsComplexity as a lens to assess spatial planning instrumentsInterconnected nodes and car-free transportOptimal land useResource custodianshipPromotion of agriculture and food productionand preservation of heritageComplexity in spatial planning for Stellenbosch Municipalitycomplexity theory and spatial changeCity & town planning - architectural aspectsMarais Lochneredt1236289Nel VernaedtMarais LochnerothNel VernaothBOOK9910639977203321Space and planning in secondary cities3029024UNINA
