Abstract:Urban residential segregation has been a central pillar of apartheid in South Africa since the Group Areas Act of 1950, but some degree of reform is now widely expected. Possible directions of change are explored in relation to the following: 1) the less rigidly controlled pre-1948 'segregation city'; 2) the post-segregation experience of Windhoek, Namibia, and Harare, Zimbabwe; 3) official thinking in the face of increasing 'de facto' erosion of urban residential segregation and the likely directions of incremental reform; and 4) the major elements of long-term urban change in a genuinely postapartheid era.
