“…The latter is situated in the west of Bloemfontein, some kilometres from the old inner city. Other secondary and tertiary economic activities moved to suburban areas too (Rogerson, 2000). From our interview data, the importance of the spatial mismatch hypothesis (Wilson, 1987;Hughes, 1989) in the explanation of the low labour capital of the interviewees was not very clear, but as conveniently located employment opportunities have decreased and as mobility is problematic, we assume that the distance between the house and workplace is an important element.…”

More than twenty years after the repeal of the Group Areas Act, South Africa is facing a number of challenges with regards to housing, spatial planning and urban development. Government institutions, scholars, NGO's and local communities have been looking for innovative ways to improve the housing conditions of all South Africans. With this special issue, we aim to demonstrate that international insights cannot only be relevant to understand and enrich South African cases, but that an in-depth analysis of the South African experiments can also be meaningful for academic analyses and political decisions in other parts of the world. In order to stimulate such a cross-fertilization, this article will briefly summarize the current situation in South Africa in the public housing sector, the private housing sector and the self-help approach. We will also introduce the eight papers of this special issue.
