“…Inner city land is expensive and often controlled by powerful business interests. The market-led approach favoured by housing policy, which means government would have to pay a fair market price for such land, arguably precludes development of expensive inner city land (Pieterse, 2004). Some scholars caution that location near the CBD is not always good for poor blacks.…”

“…This includes the definition of the management approach, the development of action plans and the environmental management.

This paper adresses the impact of the World Bank's urban development projects on territorial governance in Africa. From the analysis of eight projects completed in Senegal between the 1960s and beyond 2006, the paper identifies the process through which the World Bank adapts systems of actors and local institutional environments to its philosophy of governance. The paper shows that this territorial strategy constitutes a process of municipal adjustment where the local actor contributes to a new focus on governance and where urban development is aligned with globalization.

“…The eThekwini Municipality's 2007-2011 Integrated Development Plan includes strategies which aim to address the city's dual imperatives while evidence from the 2007/2008 municipal review highlights the implementation of a range of projects which aim collectively to accommodate the competing development imperatives. However, the methods through which these policies are to be implemented are open to some innovation and certainly to the use of a variety of development mechanisms (Pieterse 2004). To this end, it has been argued that a "principle of partnerships" should function as a cornerstone of urban development activities (Nel et al 2003, p. 225).…”

Within a context of transition, South African cities such as Durban are required to address the dual development imperatives of socio-economic redistribution and increasing global competitiveness. Processes associated with shifts to urban governance and partnerships are being drawn on to achieve these urban development goals. In 1999, the Durban Growth Coalition, a strategic partnership between business and government, emerged to address urban economic development concerns. The partnership has led to the successful planning and implementation of various flagship developments within the city. This paper evaluates the processes of the Coalition and associated projects in order to assess to what extent the partnership is successfully addressing the dual imperatives of post-apartheid redress and integration into the global economy. The paper thus critically examines the implications of using public-private partnerships as mechanisms for equitable development in South Africa and highlights the possibility of the emergence of deliberative processes of decision-making through partnerships.
