This paper, part of the first volume of the South African Cities Network’s Urban Governance Paper Series (edited by Danga Mughogho and published in 2019) is now available online.
The paper overviews constitutional standards and supporting legislative and policy frameworks, as well as high-level case law on urban service delivery in South African cities, in order to arrive at a sense of both local government and urban residents’ rights and obligations in relation to essential urban services.
