Abstract

This paper explores Apartheid spatial patterns in South African cities and how the socio-economic consequences of fragmented environments have been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is located Pretoria and will use maps to illustrate how the city is divided and how our paths almost never cross, yet our bodies, and their capacity to host a virus, do. Apartheid planning is powerful, efficient and persistent. The spatial realities mean that large numbers of the population spend hours, and a significant portion of meager  salaries, on transport getting to job opportunities, while children are left unattended at home. For many, this also means walking in the early hours of the morning through the gaps in the city fabric, the industrial areas, and cross the busy highways – their routes never acknowledged, surfaced, serviced or celebrated – to get to their menial jobs and then follow the same route back at dusk while others observe this daily migration from the comfort and safety of their cars, COVID-19 has further exposed our levels of privilege and disadvantage. Apparently as some of us lost their jobs and businesses, some of us have thrived. 

These spatial divides no doubt wound, deeply. It has been claimed that successful urban contexts work for both the rich and the poor yet we have not managed to develop visions that are powerful enough heal these divides. By utilising maps as a visual tool, and by overlaying these maps showcasing divisions, routes and gaps as well as historical transformations, or lack thereof, a narrative will be presented across space and time. It will be shown how people inhabit the city and move through it currently – and also how a different future may be visualised to allow healing, resilience and anti-fragility at a global, national, local and personal level.
