African Centre for Cities invites  you to the launch of a new publication entitled The Walk. This publication, which is based on a research study entitled The Prospects for Socio-Spatial Transformation in the Voortrekker Road Corridor by Mercy Brown-Luthango, was supported by the French Development Agency (AFD) and focuses on Maitland, Kensington and Factreton. The main concern of this study was to understand the vision of city officials and politicians, as outlined in major policy documents, and how this compares to the daily lived experiences of those who reside and conduct business in the three study areas. Please join us for a series of panel presentations followed by a facilitated discussion on the prospects and challenges for socio-spatial transformation in the Voortrekker Road Corridor Integration Zone (VRCIZ). DATE: 18 March 2019 TIME: 11:30 to 13:00 (followed by lunch) VENUE: Studio 5, Environmental and Geographical Science Building, Upper Campus, University of Cape Town PLEASE RSVP to africancentreforcities.rsvp@gmail.com by 16 March 2019 for catering purposes.
