introduction

South Africa is steadily and speedily urbanising. The opportunities and challenges that face the Gauteng city-region in this regard – as the most powerful commercial centre on the African continent and ranked as a major metropolitan conurbation in the world hierarchy of urban settlements – are interesting to track and discuss.

It is especially important to know how residents experience our cities if we are to ensure that they are not just places where people swap lives of rural subsistence for urban survivalism, but are instead inclusive, afropolitan, resilient and able to offer a high quality of life for everyone.
