The first edition of the SACN's Inclusive Cities Annual brings together reports on knowledge-sharing initiatives undertaken during 2007/08 and opinion pieces by leading inclusive cities thinkers. This collection of articles highlights inclusion and exclusion issues within cities, with a view to answering the question of how economic growth can be effectively harnessed towards a better life for all who live and work in South Africa's cities.
