چکیده
Résumé D. C. Hindson — Urbanisation et contrôle de l'immigration : de l'apartheid territorial à l'organisation régionale de l'espace en Afrique du Sud. Examen critique de la stratégie d' « urbanisation dans l'ordre » recommandée par le rapport de la commission présidentielle sur « Une stratégie d'urbanisation pour la république d'Afrique du Sud », publié en septembre 1985. L'article, écrit en novembre 1985, commence par la description de la politique urbaine pendant les trois premières décennies de l'apartheid. Il montre ensuite en quoi 1' « urbanisation dans l'ordre » rejette ou retient divers facteurs de l'apartheid traditionnel. La politique proposée est liée aux stratégies d'emploi et de développement régional de l'État sud-africain. Certains de ses traits constituent un progrès par rapport à l'apartheid traditionnel, mais tendent à résoudre les problèmes urbains en mettant le coût de l'urbanisation à la charge des fractions les plus pauvres de la classe ouvrière. Cette politique d' « urbanisation dans l'ordre » s'intègre dans les projets constitutionnels à base raciale et ethnique du Parti nationaliste, perpétuant ainsi une forme d'apartheid décentralisé.
