Urban Segregation in Post-apartheid South Africa.

Christopher, A. J.

Urban Studies, v38 n3 p449-66 Mar 2001

Analysis of 1996 South African census data reveals a general decline in urban racial segregation since ending legal apartheid in 1991. Whites remain both more segregated and less open to change than other groups. Africans have become more integrated, though most are constrained in their choice of residential options due to poverty. Segregation levels still remain very high. (SM)
