An alternative conceptualization of urban development for johannesburg’s mining belt Environment and Urbanization 34(2), Oct, 2022: p.391-412 This paper explores the multidimensional aspects of inequality that shape urban areas and imagines an alternative future for one such space in Johannesburg, South Africa. It builds on literature from urban studies and planning theory to explore planning practices that politicize inequality, valorize difference and promote the shared management of collective resources. Then, drawing on a decade of qualitative research, the paper imagines how cooperative urbanism could be applied in the factious context of Johannesburg, describing the potential for developing the former mining belt of the Witwatersrand as a series of multi-scalar interventions, networking sites of cooperative action to incrementally address the entrenched inequality of the region. Thus, the paper brings together interdisciplinary conversations on theory with empirical research, discussing concrete ways to continue shifting urban planning and development towards increased environmental and social justice. – Reproduced Communication and collaborative planning, Cooperative urbanism, Empirical research, Extended urbanization, Gauteng, city-region, Johannesburg, Tran disciplinary research. 36181 Environment and Urbanization URBAN DEVELOPMENT AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 396582 IIPA IIPA 2023-03-01 34(2), Oct, 2022: p.391-412 AR128165 2023-03-01 AR
