About the book
This book focuses on the dynamics of residential satisfaction in low-income city neighbourhoods in post-apartheid South Africa. There is well-documented evidence in post-apartheid South Africa that highlights the discontent of low-income city residents with their residences. The evidence includes violent service delivery protests, backlogs in services, overcrowding and mono-functional low-income settlements that are located relatively far from socio-economic opportunities.
