内容説明

This is an examination of local economic-development planning. The book suggests how it may be applied to South Africa. Development planning reflects many of the recommendations in the African National Congress's Reconstruction and Development Programme and is likely to be the way in which development partnerships in South Africa's cities and towns will alleviate urban poverty. Development planning has replaced many town and regional planning approaches abroad and is in the process of being introduced in South Africa. It consists of co-operative efforts among communities, local governments, labour organizations and private-sector bodies with a view to: restructuring metropolitan economies in response to changes in the national and international economy, expanding employment opportunities and enhancing the local tax base, and mobilizing resources - public, private and community based - for development at the neighbourhood level.

内容説明

Local economic development planning is now being introduced to South Africa. It consists of co-operative efforts among communities, local governments and private sector bodies with a view to: mobilizing resources - public, private and community-based - for development purposes; expanding employment opportunities; and improving the supply of services and amenities. This book examines comparative international experience on local economic development planning and suggests how it may be applied in South Africa in order to alleviate urban poverty. Local economic development is advocated by the African National Congress and is therefore likely to constitute a central activity of civic associations. This book also reflects on this aspect of ANC policy and on the viability of civil society. Chapter themes include: urban poverty in South Africa; economic initiatives in Durban and on the central Witwatersrand; suggestions on the restructuring of the form of the apartheid city with a view to promoting development; and a detailed examination of civil society.
