- Authors
Bodei, Silvia; Davis, Adheema
- Abstract
The article explores the impact of racial segregation and forced removals in Durban during the apartheid era, using the case study of Block AK in Greyville. It highlights how spatial planning based on racial categories, such as the Group Areas Act, disrupted communities, displaced residents, and left a lasting legacy of social and spatial inequality in South African cities.
