Vernacular Regeneration (eBook, ePUB)

Low-income Housing, Private Policing and Urban Transformation in inner-city Johannesburg

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the nature of urban regeneration currently taking place in inner-city Johannesburg. It utilises literature around neoliberal urbanism, securitisation and gentrification to build a critical account of the regeneration process underway in the inner-city. The book proposes new and alternative ways of examining the processes of urban renewal, and demonstrates that critical urban studies needs to re-evaluate these processes and concepts and their implied ways of seeing cities.
