Abstract

This paper examines the urbanization process under the conditions produced by the system of apartheid in South Africa. Using survey data from four different settlement patterns in KwaZulu, one of the most fragmented of South Africa's labor reserves or bantustans, the study attempts to distinguish an urbanization spectrum. Attention is focused upon three urban settlements—a township, a shack town and a sites-and-services project—to differentiate the households living in them. Finally the paper discusses access and attitudes toward amenities and housing in the sites-and-services project.
