- Description: preprint , Studies of racial territorial segregation affecting the coloured population in Port Elizabeth tend to perceive it as an outcome of a power struggle between central and local government over the implementation of apartheid legislation. This paper explores the underlying economic forces on the local government to bring about residential segregation and address the coloured housing crisis in the city. It is proposed that whereas central government motives for segregation were primarily political, local government was influenced largely by economic considerations. Local government objectives were severely compromised through both local industrial interests and the implementation of central government Group Areas policies.

- Description: This Working Paper is the culmination of several years of dedicated and meticulous research conducted by Bev Taylor. It represents a comprehensive step into Port Elizabeth's planning past in order to identify the principal events, issues and decisions which were instrumental in forming the city as it is today. The work makes a significant contribution to our understanding of ideological influences on the dynamics of urban form; and, more particularly, of the extent to which these have played a part in the morphology of the apartheid city. It is imperative that future development decision-making should take cognisance of this kind of research in order to avoid making the mistakes of the past and to address the inequities and unfairness of previous urban "development" policies. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: This Working Paper sets out to investigate what has generally been taken for granted as part and parcel of the urbanisation and development process in South Africa, and to relate this to current government strategies. There has been no comprehensive policy for coping with urbanisation in South Africa. In particular, the urbanisation of Africans has not been accepted as an inevitable process. Instead, past policies have been guided by apartheid ideology and have tended to address only specific issues relating to urbanisation. Essentially, policies have attempted to control the urbanisation process through various pieces of legislation directed at, for example, housing, population migration, industrial decentralisation etc. Such legislative measures, rather than presenting a coherent urbanisation policy, have provided the main tools for the South African state to control and direct the urbanisation process in the country as a whole. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: Towards the end of 1984 the Development Studies Unit (DSU) in the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) at Rhodes University identified a need to undertake an investigation into the status of overall physical and socio-economic planning and development in Grahamstown. The initial intention of such an investigation was to identify, analyse and assess existing research related to the development of Grahamstown in order to provide a benchmark that could reduce the incidence of duplication and overlap in future research projects and to provide a point of departure for the design of more specific and action-oriented research and the formulation of feasible strategies for future development in the City. During the course of comprehensive background investigation and discussions with a wide range of local interest groups, it became clear that the proposed review of issues related to planning and development in Grahamstown would be far more extensive than originally anticipated. In addition, 1985 turned out to be an eventful year and the DSU actively encouraged research by other agencies and individuals into related issues which were deemed to be an integral part of the proposed review. For these reasons, it was decided to publish the preliminary research results in a series of Development Studies Working Papers to provide a focus of attention for particular aspects of the work. This was felt to be in accordance with the intent of the ISER Development Studies Working Paper Series which is to publish the basic results of research undertaken in order to facilitate and encourage its further development into more substantial publications. This has resulted in a series of Working Papers to be published under the general title of "A Review of Issues Related to Planning and Development in Grahamstown". This Working Paper is the fourth in the series and consists of an annotated bibliography of publications dealing with the process of planning and development in Grahamstown. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)
