SPATIAL PLANNING AND HUMAN SETTLEMENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA
Introduction
The spatial planning and human settlement patterns in South Africa cannot be understood
without looking at apartheid era legislation. These laws were deliberately designed to control
where people could live, work and move. Housing and land access were used as tools to
maintain racial separation and economic inequality. Even after the end of apartheid, the
physical layout created by these laws remains largely unchanged. This continues to create
serious housing and settlement challenges for government and communities today
(PUB1602 Study Guide 2020).
