FROM DIVIDED TO INTEGRATED CITY?

- Abstract
Good urban governance results in economic efficiency, social equity, gender- aware policies, overall sustainability and ultimately, improved living conditions of not only the urban poor but all city residents. [...] Good urban governance is not merely a matter of efficient management; it also has political dimensions related to democracy, human rights and civic participation in decision-making processes. (UNCHS, 2001: 211, emphasis in original) The Commission proposes the urgent establishment of a City Development Partnership to enable the development and implementation of a shared development agenda. This partnership must be about concerted action and must be co-owned by the Council, other government agencies, parastatals, the private sector, labour and civil society organisations. The emphasis of the city development partnership will be on a highly focussed campaign or campaigns which can mobilise the commitment, energy and resources of a wide range of stakeholders but which substantively address our core issues of a divided city, dysfunctional communities, and a dual economy.
