Prolonging the Global Age of Gentrification: Johannesburg’s Regeneration Policies

University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, T.Winkler{at}sheffield.ac.uk

New Urban Policy and New Conventional Wisdom are not restricted to cities of the global North, but are being imported by municipalities of the global South as ‘world class’ enabling precedents. Johannesburg may be added to the growing number of cities that are adopting economic competitiveness, responsive governance, social cohesion, and social mix strategies to facilitate urban regeneration, so that free-market economic strategies rather than social policies may act as catalysts for change. However, such strategies may lead to the social and spatial exclusion of poor inner city residents and not to a Just City conceptualization for urban planning.

Key Words: economic competitiveness • social cohesion • urban regeneration
