  • Title: South Africa's urban policy: a new form of influx control.
    Author: Tomlinson R.
    Journal: Urban Aff Q; 1988 Jun; 23(4):487-510. PubMed ID: 12282321.
    Abstract:
    "The South African government has repealed influx control for blacks living in the 'non-independent homelands.' Although the urban shift of the black population is increasingly accepted, controls on the supply of housing and land for housing blacks have been retained. The emphasis is now on alternative restrictions on black urbanization. The restrictions, however, contrast with the wishes of South Africa's business leadership. The 1986 'reforms' are explained by exploring the relationship between government policy and business interests. Finally, the urban policies are contrasted with the new metropolitan government, the Regional Services Councils, through which blacks are being brought into multiracial governmental structures but on unequal terms."
