タイトル:
Urban Space, Collective Memory and Identities in Post-apartheid South Africa: Reflections from Cape Town

 

Abstract:
Cities have historically played a distinctive role in South Africa’s modern political economy. They acted as central collection points for the capital that was amassed predominantly through mining in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; they were instrumental in providing the means to coordinate the rationalist planning and industrialisation characteristic of the apartheid era; and they were fundamentally shaped by the policies of racial division of that era. The governing of cities in apartheid South Africa was designed to service the infrastructural, and in particular the ideological and spatial, requirements of the apartheid state. Urban authority reflected the spatio-administrative ordering of apartheid, consisting of local councils governing each of the four statutorily defined racial groups (i.e., white, coloured, Indian, and black). Finally, since a key rationale of apartheid planning was the control of the flow of blacks into cities—the intention of apartheid policy being to contain African settlement in designated rural “homelands” or bantustans—urban policy centred on managing and monitoring Africans’ (and other populations’) movements.
 

In the postapartheid era, urban areas continue to play an important role, although their primary function in the political economy has shifted. In a spatial sense, too, cities are now considered important geographical and economic sites for the enactment of transformation and integration. The postapartheid city, however, has been subject to many other unintended changes, which range from gentrification, informalisation, and deindustrialisation in some instances, to the rise of private securitised spaces and pronounced class polarities. Urban identities have changed concomitantly. In this presentation, I reflect on changes in the spatial, social, and economic geography of the city of Cape Town and their effects on urban identities in the city. The focus is on the broad way that emerging (and older) identities inter-relate with constructions of place in postapartheid South Africa.
