Abstract
In the current review of housing policy in South Africa, the HSRC was asked to investigate whether low-cost housing policies had increased access to the city for the poor over the past 25 years. The researchers found that state-led, pro-poor suburbanisation projects have imploded, due to re-urbanisation and adverse residential involution that has dire consequences for the formation of sustainable, place-based communities.-
