New people: the younger informal settlements in central Durban

The report commissioned by the Department of Local Government and National Housing covers six survey areas, the first four of which are regarded as younger informal settlements closer to the city centre (Cato Manor, Kennedy Road, Briardene and Block AK). The remaining two are formal townships (Umlazi and Clermont) which have experienced informal housing areas within them. The report was completed by the Rural-Urban Studies Unit.
