This collection investigates how the physical and social landscapes of South African cities are being reshaped, remembered, and contested in the wake of apartheid. The editors, Martin Hall, Nick Shepherd, and Noëleen Murray, curate a multidisciplinary set of essays that examine the intersection of urban planning, heritage management, and collective memory. By analyzing specific sites—from museums and townships to transit spaces—the contributors argue that the post-apartheid city remains a site of tension between historical trauma and the aspirations of a new democracy.
