- Authors
Dirsuweit, Teresa; Wafer, Alex
- Abstract
An examination of development patterns, especially since 1990, leads one to the assertion that not only are racial divisions still firmly entrenched in the spatial order of the metropolis, if anything the location of significant urban facilities, notably, shopping centres, offices, cinemas, and restaurants are now more concentrated in the dominantly white-occupied 'northern' suburbs than ever before ( ) together they form an 'enclave' that constitutes 28.8% of the area of Johannesburg and one that by the close of 2003 contained some 70% of all the shopping facilities located in the large malls of the city (SA Reconciliation Barometer, 2005).
