The Ethics of Urban Development in the Western Cape,
South Africa
Our second symposium held on June 22nd, 2006 aimed to unearth some of the moral challenges faced by stakeholders in the process of rapid and widespread urban development currently witnessed in the Western Cape. It was concerns about the integrity of processes and the recognition of democratic freedoms and rights that were salient. The moral foci were the ethics of professionalism and social justice in urban development.
