<br/><br/> Since 1990 Namibia has been subjected to significant social, political and urban change due to the dowfall of the apartheid regime and access to independence. The transformation was especially apparent in Windhoek, the capital and the country's largest and most prominent urban centre. This article examines the process of transformation of residential areas in the outskirts of Windhoek by linking spatial change at local level with political and economic change at regional and national level. Inspired by the school of regulation, this approach of socio-spatial change endeavours to understand the role played by space in the regulation of social relations and the reproduction of a political and economic system.
