Durban’s Albert Park Residential Area – a Hundred Years On

In the chapter, Durban’s Albert Park Residential Area – a Hundred Years On, Simon Mapadimeng provides a brief demographic, economic and cultural history of a residential area in central Durban, focusing on how it has changed with the ending of apartheid. Like many inner-city areas in South Africa which were once mainly or exclusively white, it has now become black. With the flight of capital to the suburbs, it has also become relatively run down.
