“…LUM, in contrast, has had limited transformation since the apartheid era, with many of the newly promulgated zoning schemes still using the same approach that was used in the 1950s in South Africa. In particular, zoning schemes still perpetuate the functional separation of land uses, sprawling suburbia, and a limited range of land uses that fails to recognize the livelihood role of housing in low-income areas (Görgens & Denoon-Stevens, 2013;Charman et al, 2017).…”

This paper reflects on the ongoing debate between theory and practice in planning, using the example of South Africa. Based on survey responses, it discusses how planning education in South Africa is perceived to prepare students for practice. While we acknowledge that the majority of respondents view their planning education positively, the results reveal challenges regarding the practical application of theory, especially in the case of land-use management. We then respond to calls for contextualised practices of knowing, emphasising the 'local' in planning education so that theory and practice can be combined across contexts.

“…This may include spatial and environmental policy and legislation, land information such as the cadastre and the land administration process (Enemark et al, 2005;Enemark, 2007). According to Healey (2006: 72) it pertains to "collective management of local environments" and is often, but not always, linked to spatial plans and the implementation thereof (Healey, 2006;Todes et al, 2010;Coyle, 2011;Van Wyk, 2012: 56;Görgens and Denoon-Stevens, 2013). This link is important for without some form of development control to ensure that development takes place as envisaged, there is no point in engaging in strategic planning (Oranje, 1995: 32;Berrisford and Kihato, 2008).…”

“…A system based on consensus should also reflect the values, visions and aspirations of the community (Oranje, 1995;Thomas, 1997;Talen, 2009). It must, moreover, be flexible enough to accommodate various forms of tenure and development, including unregistered sites such as land held under customary tenure (Williamson, 2001) and informal settlements (Görgens and Denoon-Stevens, 2013).…”

“…To achieve this the system must have the necessary capacity -staff, skills and finances -to implement the system sustainably (Watson, 1993;Görgens and Denoon-Stevens, 2013). This implies that the regulatory system should focus on the strategic and not the petty (Oranje, 1995), containing only the most essential rules (Talen, 2009).…”
