Territorial Issues in the Towns of KwaZulu-Natal: Between Differentiation and Competition
Type de matériel :
18
Our aim is to highlight the diversity of urban reality in KwaZulu-Natal. A typology is made from a PCA based on various criteria: social, economic, qualitative, quantitative, etc. This typology is then compared with a forward-looking urban classification based on current economic trends in the towns and their position in the new political situation inherited from the 2000 municipal boundaries. The combination of the two classifications creates various categories of towns, from “winners” to “losers”. The paper shows how the familiar provincial “T” (dynamic spatial axis) is being superseded by a “winning L” between Pietermaritzburg, Durban and Richards Bay.
