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.
