Description: "This book locates the legacy of spatial injustices inherited from apartheid's social, political and economic engineering as the central cause of the challenges which are holding the country back. Its proposed solution is total national spatial construction, to be spawned by the creation of many new mega city regions that will germinate new economies for South Africa and the rest of the continent."--Back cover.
