This edited collection is built around the experiences of Yeoville Studio, a research initiative based at the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Through themed, illustrated stories of the people and places of Yeoville, the book presents a nuanced portrait of the vibrance and complexity of a post-apartheid, peri-central neighbourhood that has often been characterised as a 'slum' in Johannesburg. These narratives are interwoven with theoretical chapters by scholars from a diversity of disciplinary backgrounds, reflecting on the empirical experiences of the Studio and examining academic research processes. These chapters unpack the engagement of the Studio in Yeoville, including issues of trust, the need to align policy with lived realities and social needs, the political dimensions of the knowledge produced and the ways in which this knowledge was, and could be used. 606 $aSlums 606 $aCity planning$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSlums. 615 0$aCity planning$xSocial aspects. 676 $a307.3364 702 $aClaire Benit-Gbaffou 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910504305703321 996 $aPolitics and community-based research$92548604 997 $aUNINA
