Description: This Working Paper is the culmination of several years of dedicated and meticulous research conducted by Bev Taylor. It represents a comprehensive step into Port Elizabeth's planning past in order to identify the principal events, issues and decisions which were instrumental in forming the city as it is today. The work makes a significant contribution to our understanding of ideological influences on the dynamics of urban form; and, more particularly, of the extent to which these have played a part in the morphology of the apartheid city. It is imperative that future development decision-making should take cognisance of this kind of research in order to avoid making the mistakes of the past and to address the inequities and unfairness of previous urban "development" policies.
