3. Urban Development Policies in a Unique Political and Institutional Context takes a more sectoral approach, and are seen as a response to specific urban problems. Furthermore, operational responsibilities in South Africa are shared between the provinces and municipalities. The municipalities find themselves responsible for the consequences within their borders but, like in France, do not necessarily have all the leverage needed to conduct effective development strategies. 68 Integrating Poor Populations in South African Cities © AFD 2009
PART TWO An Uncertain Determination to Plan the Urban Landscape It is important to understand how the government of South Africa plans its territory and the difficulties it encounters in doing so. Planning is often viewed as a potentially very powerful tool to develop urban areas. Indeed, anticipating and regulating urban development seems to be one of the government’s important prerogatives with crucial consequences. Planning and managing human settlements (whether residential, economic, industrial, etc.) should provide a way of influencing the urban landscape and city development. Planning is an essential tool to manage urban sprawl, develop fair cities, spread out the various types of activities, consider travel on the scale of the agglomeration, and take into account environmental constraints. The aim is to foster a crosscutting approach and avoid approaches that are guided by short-term visions or generated by actors’ interests, which diverge in the case of territories. 69 However, planning the urban landscape presents a very large number of difficulties and is a particularly tricky aspect of public policy in developing countries, as it is in emerging and developed countries. It requires one to consider several territorial scales and several urban functions, and above all to have a government that is sufficiently powerful and has considerable and clearly identified responsibilities. © AFD 2009 Integrating Poor Populations in South African Cities
