historical land inequality continues to influence housing shortages, informal
settlements and land reform challenges after apartheid. Discuss the impact
of apartheid-era legislation on the spatial planning and human settlement
patterns in South Africa. In your answer, refer to at least two key laws and

development of townships and informal settlements. In your answer, show

living conditions today. Examine how apartheid era housing policies treated
Black South Africans as temporary urban residents. Discuss how this mindset
influenced housing provision and how it continues to shape urban

apartheid spatial planning and present day service delivery challenges. In
your answer, explain how distance from city centres, poor infrastructure and
fragmented settlements increase the cost of housing development and
service provision. Evaluate the long term social and economic consequences
of apartheid era spatial planning on low income communities. Focus on
transport costs, access to employment and the cycle of poverty linked to
settlement location. Analyse how apartheid era legislation created
fragmented cities in South Africa. Discuss why post-apartheid housing
policies struggle to integrate communities and promote inclusive human
settlements. Discuss the impact of apartheid-era legislation on the spatial
planning and human settlement patterns in South Africa. In your answer,

post-apartheid housing challenges. Discuss the challenges faced by the post-

legislation. In your answer, refer to land availability, urban planning systems
and stakeholder interests in housing development. Using examples, explain
why addressing apartheid era spatial planning requires more than just
building houses. Discuss the importance of land reform, integrated planning
and social justice in transforming human settlement patterns in South Africa.
