`The authors present a rich, comprehensive but sober analysis of progress achieved by the South African public sector in the two decades after apartheid. Their view from the local level is particularly relevant, as South Africa is one of the few African countries with empowered sub-national government.'

Its insights and analytical framework have relevance for other countries and cities facing the challenges of the new urban agenda.'
