Abstract:

There is growing pressure around the world to formalise human rights in urban policy. Ivan Turok and Andreas Scheba analyse South Africa???s experience of the right to housing to identify the pitfalls in a legalistic approach and caution against a too general definition of rights that bear no relationship to state capacity to fulfil them.
