Abstract:This paper examines the process of local government reform in Durban (South Africa). It addresses general questions about the capacity of the State at the local level to formulate and implement sustainable social and economic development. It does this through a focus on issues of urban citizenship and legitimate governance within a specific locale close to the central city (Warwick Avenue). The case study method is used to illustrate some aspects of the changing nature of urban life in a post-apartheid city, and the challenges faced by urban managers in developing more effective and participative forms of regulation. The main question providing the focus of the paper is 'What are the relationships between urban practices, urban citizenship and legitimate governance?'. Bibliogr., notes, ref. [ASC Leiden abstract]
