Voices of developers and municipalities

The booklet, report and presentation are based on a study by the University of Pretoria, commissioned by the Urban Land Markets Programme. The study provides an in-depth understanding of how urban land development and governance work in practice; the political, economic, and social factors that influence urban land development and governance; and the interaction between developers and municipalities.

The study has revealed that truly inclusive cities are unlikely to become a reality in South Africa without the development of greater synergy, cooperation and mutual understanding between municipalities and developers, and municipal attention to developmental outcomes.
