This course looks at the potential for corporations and governments to embrace the U.S. model of market-led approaches to spur greater economic development in apartheid-created, majority Black townships near Cape Town, South Africa. Students survey South Africa's history and urban economic development landscape and explore the similarities and differences between South Africa and the U.S. In addition to classroom learning, students engage in service learning experiences with organizations in low-income communities.
