ABSTRACT
A large corpus of legislation has evolved in South Africa which is non-racial in letter but produces segregatory outcomes in urban space. The aim of this chapter is to examine how, in the Clairwood area in southern Durban, the local implementation of non-racial legislation facilitating capitalist urban development has had segregatory outcomes and has weakened place-based social relations upon which community and self-identity are based (Cox and Mair 1988).
