ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
2024 is an important year for South Africa that will - no doubt - see plenty of reflection on 30 years of democracy and consider the achievements of this democratic era and the perennial and future challenges facing communities across the country.
One of those perennial challenges remains the progressive realisation of housing for all – a quest that has shaped so much of the debate and policy-making since 1994. So, it’s perhaps fitting that it’s a theme that kicks off our 2024 as we consider a newly released book: "Housing in African Cities - A Lens on Urban Governance".
Covering six countries and eight different cities across the continent the book presents a series of housing themes and agendas - from Inclusionary Housing in Cape Town to the walk-up housing typologies of Fleurhof, Johannesburg.
In this TTPod episode, editorial team, Dr. Margot Ruben, Dr. Sarah Charlton, Dr. Neil Klug reflect on the contributions made. What themes were important and how do some of those themes echo (or not!) some of the thinking going into a new White Paper on Human Settlements?
Happy New Year to all Talking Transformation Podcast listeners!
