Past President of the Royal Town Planning Institute, and of the Commonwealth Association of Planners ""A classical and critical book of colossal magnitude, written by leading authors from the Global South that paints a vivid portrait of the spatial planning transformation narrative in post-apartheid South Africa, is a must have book that is invaluable for policy makers, decision makers, practitioners, and academics alike.""
