ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the potential relationship between heritage and environmental justice as values informing regeneration at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg by first focusing on the policy process, and secondly understanding the relationship between physical form and visitors' understandings of these approaches. It focuses on the redevelopment of urban space for human and social capital. One of the approaches guiding the implementation of human and social capital is a sustainable cities approach to regeneration, with the specific goal of reducing the human and social consequences of environmental injustice, whilst the focus of heritage is what can be inherited between generations. The chapter shows that level necessarily requires refocusing at the local level. The high level of awareness of the integration of heritage with the regeneration of Constitution Hill can be attributed to Johannesburg Development Agency's marketing of the precinct to both local and international visitors.
