Regulation theory and development planning: the case of southern Pinetown, Kwazulu-Natal

[摘要] Development planning plays an important role in integrating the actions andbehaviours of groups and individuals with the needs of the economy. and thus inensuring the continued reproduction of capitalism. An understanding of the historyof development planning in South Africa and in Southern Pinetown through the toolsof regulation theory, shows how the apartheid development planning process' for alimited amount of time, arguably favoured the needs of racially skewed capital bysecuring stability and control over an exploited, black workforce, Within the post apartheid era characterised by constant and unprecedented change, developmentplanning needs to become impregnated within the fabric of society. The role for planners and the local state is therefore to impart a strategic planning mind set into thediverse forces and components, whose combined actions together create the urbanform.
