For many; Johannesburg resembles the imagined spectre of the urban future. Global anxieties about catastrophic urban explosion; social fracture; environmental degradation; escalating crime and violence; and rampant consumerism alongside grinding poverty; are projected onto this city as a microcosm of things to come. Decision-makers in cities worldwide have attempted to balance harsh fiscal and administrative realities with growing demands for political; economic and social justice. This book investigates pragmatic approaches to urban economic development; service delivery; spatial restructuring; environmental sustainability and institutional reform in Johannesburg. It explores the conditions and processes that are determining the citys transformation into a cosmopolitan metropole and magnet for the continent.

Peter Brook and Oida all are on my favorite list of books about acting and theatre. This is a veryvaluable book and must be included for any person interested in contemporary drama and art. I gave mycopy to my daughter but will purchase another one soon.15 of 18 people found the following review helpful. Disarmingly honest and insightfulBy Cari TigerpawIf I could possess only one book. I would choose this book. Chaiken candidly describes profound moments of awareness in his work and in his life. and the relationship between these. This is not a conventional book about the theater. but rather a complicated and understandably inconclusive examination of being and enduring and striving toward authenticity within the confines of an inauthentic "setup." It begins..."Most of the people I know who are seriously interested in the theater dont really like it very much." If you like this book. try The Performance of Self in Everyday Life by Erving Goffman.
