摘要：Urban development control in South Africa has of late come under attack from a number of sources. This has led to a lively debate on the future of urban development control as such. In this article the need for a system of urban development control for South Africa is argued with the emphasis on the appropriateness of such a system. Six arguments in support of this view are presented. This is followed by a discussion of some of the characteristics of what is deemed to be an appropriate system, or should otherwise form the basis of such a system.
