Abstract

In a recent study that the HSRC undertook of socio-economic conditions in different parts of South Africa, one of the most striking findings was the persistence of local and regional disparities. Therefore, the inclusive growth agenda has to take citizen participation, place-based policies and public-private partnerships much more seriously, write Prof. Ivan Turok and Dr Justin Visagie.
