Moontlike toekomstige patroon van kleurlingverstedeliking in Wes-Kaapland

Abstract

According to the National Physical Development Plan (1), apart from the existing metropolitan areas of Greater Cape Town and Port Elizabeth -Ultenhage, five other growth points are excluded in the Cape Province. They are the Saldanha Bay complex. George, East London, Kimberley and an imaginary growth point for the North-Western Cape. This choice implies that there is enough development potential in each of these urban settlements to develop a large population (I, p. 18) without large-scale government investment. This development should therefore take place in competition with existing metropolitan centers. At this stage, it would therefore be important to investigate the future pattern of urbanization in Western Cape. Because the Colored urban population in Western Cape grows much faster than the white urban population (3.3% versus 1.8% per annum), it would be appropriate to investigate the future pattern of Colored Cities in the Western Cape.
