Impoverished area - Urban development in Langa - Established in 1923 under the Urban Areas Act, Langa was created to absorb the residents of Ndabeni, rejected by the middle class and “garden city” suburb of Pinelands. The name Langa is derived from the name of Langalibalele, a chiefand renowned rain maker who rebelled against the Natal government in the late 19th century. Yet Langa literally means “sun”. As a township, Langa was designed and built to allow the authorities maximum control. After the end of Apartheid, the government has been making efforts to rejuvenate the township - through housing projects, provision of electricity and running water as well as the establishment of schools, clinics and sport facilities. In recent years Langahas managed to build tourism and job-creation initiatives and form relations with the Northern world.

Well-resourced area - Urban development in V&A Waterfront - The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is a restored shipping wharf and port area in Cape Town. Ittook shape with the advent of democracy in the early 1990s and is an early example of city and port regeneration. It forms part ofthe Table Bay Harbour, one of the oldest working ports in the southern hemisphere. The V&A Waterfront is a mixed-use urban complex ofcommercial, retail & residential properties, as well as heritage sites. It receives 24 million visitors annually, supporting over 21 000 jobs. Most recently, the Silo District around the historic grain silo which was converted into Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa was opened – complementing what V&A Waterfront CEO David Green calls “a mixed-use space in which people can live, work and play”.
