Hi Samkelo,

I believe that City Improvement Districts based in South Africa are a good example of Cosmopolitan Urbanism in post apartheid era.

Some articles I recommend:

1) The spreading of the City Improvement District Model

in Johannesburg and Cape Town: Urban regeneration

and the neoliberal Agenda in South Africa

by Sophie Didier, Elisabeth Peyroux, Marianne Morange

2) City Improvement Districts in Johannesburg: An examination of the local variations of the BID model by

Elisabeth Peyroux

3) City Improvement Districts and ‘territorialized neoliberalism’ in South African cities

In book: Neoliberal Urbanism and its Contestations – Crossing Theoretical Boundaries Publisher

What about the legacies of Apartheid? Can they fit into a cosmopolitan framework>?
