  • Reframing the Urban Challenge in Africa
    Reframing the Urban Challenge in Africa This book explores the changing dynamics and challenges behind the rapid expanse of Africa’s urban population. Africa’s urban age is underway. With the world’s fastest growing urban population, the continent is rapidly transforming from one that is largely rural, to one that is largely urban. Often facing limited budgets, those tasked with managing African cities require empirical evidence on the nature of demands for infrastructure, escalating environmental hazards, and ever-expanding informal settlements. Drawing on the work of the African Urban Research Initiative, this book brings together contributions from local researchers investigating key themes and challenges within their own contexts. An important example of urban knowledge co-production, the book demonstrates the regional diversity that can be seen as the main feature of African urbanism, with even well-accepted concepts such as informality manifesting in markedly different ways from place to place. Providing an important nuanced perspective on the heterogeneity of African cities and the challenges they face, this book will be an important resource for researchers across development studies, African studies, and urban studies. Ntombini Marrengane is the Manager of the Secretariat for the African Urban Research Initiative (AURI), a Pan African, interdisciplinary applied urban research network, based at the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Sylvia Croese is a research associate with the African Centre for Cities, University of Cape Town and a senior researcher with the University of the Witwatersrand (South African Research Chair in Spatial Analysis and City Planning) in Johannesburg, South Africa.

  • Governing for Urban Inclusion? a Critical Analysis of the City of Johannesburg Migrant Help-Desk
    Governing for Urban Inclusion? A Critical Analysis of the City of Johannesburg Migrant Help-desk Roshanara Brigid Dadoo 400811 submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Masters by Dissertation Development Studies Supervised by Prof Loren Landau and Prof Srila Roy March 2020 1 Declaration I declare that this dissertation is my own original work and that none of its sections have been previously submitted for publication or examination. Signature................................................Date..................................... Roshanara Brigid Dadoo 2 Abstract Globally, right wing populist regimes with violently anti-migrant agendas are coming to power and imposing increasingly authoritarian mechanisms of governing populations. Rapid urbanisation in sub-Saharan Africa in particular has put a spotlight on the role of cities in migration and how municipalities handle tensions between incomers, integration with local communities and the needs of expanding numbers of poor and peripheral residents. Johannesburg, synonymous with migration since its beginnings in the 1890s gold rush, is the only city in the country to have designed and implemented an urban migration policy. It is a striking example of a post-apartheid liminal city in which mobility is a marker of precarity or poverty for citizen and migrant alike. I set out to understand what the creation and operation of the City of Johannesburg migration policy and Migrant Help-desk reveals about the city government’s vision in/exclusion. The study was conceived from asking how and why state institutions in post-colonies decide who to in/exclude from their jurisdictions through governing urban migration. Critical assessments of municipal policy in Johannesburg have mainly focused on local economic, planning and infrastructure issues.

  • Introduction
    Introduction CHAPTER The Municipal Systems Act (MSA), Act 32 of 2000, requires municipalities to review their IDPs in order to assess their performance and changing circumstances. The Act also requires a review of the strategic development plans to assess whether these plans are aligned to the needs of stakeholders. The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is one of the key tools assisting local government in discharging its developmental mandate. The IDP further assists municipalities in decision-making, resource allocation, to redress spatial imbalances, land management, the promotion of local economic development and institutional transformation. The City of Johannesburg undertook the 2009/10 IDP review in a consultative, systematic and strategic manner as per legislative direction. The City’s IDP forms part of a suite of strategic planning instruments to guide development and service delivery. The Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) provides the vision and long-term strategic perspective for the City, while the IDP sets out the strategic plan for the medium-term. The same timelines as the electoral terms are followed and this specific five-year IDP refers to the 2006 to 2011 period. Departments and Municipal Entities (MEs) are required to complete detailed annual business plans that give operational expression to the IDP. The Municipal Systems Act prescribes the development and approval processes of the IDP. The full Municipal Council must approve the IDP, which means it may not be delegated. The approved IDP has legal status in the context of Council business. The IDP process is the key mechanism for ensuring vertical and horizontal alignment. It strives to achieve vertical integration between the municipality and other spheres of government and works towards horizontal integration with neighbouring municipalities.
