This detailed study of urban inequality in Johannesburg provides a rigorous examination of the links between de-industrialisation, occupational change, residential segregation and the housing market. It highlights the way in which race and the legacy of the South African apartheid state intersect with changes in the structure of the labour market over a 40 year period from 1970-2011 to change the structure of urban inequality. It is an invaluable source which links to wider international debates about urban social polarisation, professionalization and the post-Fordist city. A 'must read' for all students of African cities. --Emeritus Professor Chris Hamnett, King's College London, UK
