摘要：The article examines shifts in population and related social phenomena in the functional area of Greater Pretoria, presently known as City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. The study was based on data from the 1996 and 2001 national censuses. It was found that blacks have moved into the former ‘white’ neighbourhoods, albeit not in equal measure and that their movement mainly follows the route of least resistance through the older, lower income areas to the west of the city centre. Although a number of formerly ‘white’ neighbourhoods became predominantly ‘black’ in the period of study, overall segre gation levels have in fact increased slightly. Peripherally located black townships remained exclusively black and through their extension, old apartheid patterns became even futher entrenched. Distinct core areas are in the process of taking shape with high income, pre dominantly white neighbourhoods, moving further away in a south easterly direction. Also evident was a large scale redistribution of concomitant social phenomena such as household incomes, skills levels and unemployment.
