Abstract:	Using the example of suburban expansion in South Africa, this paper addresses the question of changing forms of segregation, particularly in relation to issues of government of the transformation of space. Most studies on postapartheid urbanism stress one dimension of change: that away from apartheid. But before, during and certainly after apartheid, South African urban change is more complex than a simple linear process. In suburban South Africa new relationships between public planning and private sector interests have tended to intensify separations related to income, wealth, and forms of employment. The paper examines postapartheid processes of segregation and also pays attention to the governance of territorial transformation in South Africa. Bibliogr., notes, ref. [ASC Leiden abstract]
