Urban Renewal and the Needs of the Coloured Community - Part One

Abstract

In view of the problems associated with the city of today, there is a tendency to decry city life as unnatural, undesirable and degrading, and a recent phenomenon in civilization. This is very far from the truth. Urban man and urban life has, for a very long time been central to civilization and human existence. Yet in recent times there have emerged new types of urban problems of a magnitude and quality not encountered previously. Futhermore, these problems are not universally the same.
