Lecture by Professor Lisa Findley
"From Township to Town: Post-Apartheid Transformations"
Under the South African apartheid regime, black and colored townships were bedrooms for underpaid and segregated laborers and their families. There were no civic structures, minimal infrastructure and commercial activities were tightly controlled by the government. The end of apartheid in 1994 may have changed the country politically, but the townships remain spatially distinct and economically segregated. Lisa Findley discusses several efforts to transform the former townships into vital and lively towns.
Lisa Findley is a professor at California College of the Arts, author of Building Change: Architecture, Politics and Cultural Agency and Contributing Editor for Architectural Record.
