Description

Explore the historical connections between imperial design and racial segregation in this scholarly work from Routledge. Building Apartheid examines the role of the British Empire in the urban development of Cape Town, revealing how architectural decisions helped establish the structures of apartheid. By analyzing previously unexamined archival material, this book investigates the various mechanisms used by the Empire to lay the groundwork for future segregation. It highlights the impact of British architects and their design philosophies on the social landscape of pre-apartheid Cape Town. The text tracks these influences through the work of Ebenezer Howard, the progenitor of the Garden City Movement, to explain how urban planning facilitated white dominance. This book serves as a deep look into the intersection of architecture, empire, and social order.
