In democratic South Africa, where infrastructure provision still reflects deeply embedded notions of citizenship, informal neighborhoods with minimal infrastructure provision face challenges beyond access to basic services and opportunities. Fear, the feeling of being forgotten, and living in undignified conditions are among the powerful experiences darkness brings about in these neighborhoods. The book not only reveals these experiences of everynight life, but takes a step further: it considers how the co-production of a solar public lighting project within a community improved everynight life and suggests ways for infrastructure to more successfully articulate citizenship. 606 $aCity planning$xEconomic aspects$zSouth Africa 606 $aCities and towns$zSouth Africa 610 $aApartheid. 610 $aCape Town. 610 $aKhayelitsha. 610 $aSouth Africa. 610 $aaction research. 610 $abottom-up. 610 $acitizenship. 610 $adarkness. 610 $alight infrastructure. 610 $apost-Apartheid urban planning. 610 $apublic light. 610 $asouthern urbanism. 610 $atownship. 610 $aurban segregation. 615 0$aCity planning$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aCities and towns 676 $a307.1216095456 700 $aBriers$b Stephen$f1965-$01240986 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996524969303316 996 $aInfrastructures of freedom$93365655 997 $aUNISA
