dc.description.abstractIn the post-apartheid climate, policy makers and urban planners struggled to desegregate urban spaces for inclusive growth and social transformation. Research shows that with the adoption of neo-liberal approaches to economic policy these efforts were curtailed dramatically. This study focuses on cuts to welfare and social spending, and reliance on trickle-down benefits that never materialized. This detailed investigation of municipal and state intervention, or lack thereof, concludes that neo-liberal economic policies cause the violent contestations that Durban has seen. Xenophobia "thrives where economic deprivation and hardships are acute." There are limits to what poor communities can achieve without government intervention.en
