Abstract
Abstract Cape Town, located in a spectacular setting at the south-western tip of Africa, embodies three and a half centuries of urban development and accommodates a culturally and linguistically diverse population of some 2.6 million. Its local economy, the second largest in the country, is relatively diversified and the city – in the view of some observers – is well positioned to take advantage of South Africa's re-entry into the global arena following the demise of apartheid in the early 1990s. A key issue is whether the current restructuring of local government will establish a management and governance system capable of meeting the dual challenge posed by the need to promote the city's global competitiveness while simultaneously overcoming the legacy of social and economic inequity and spatial disadvantage inherited from its apartheid past.
