The Johannesburg newspaper includes expert essays on the core themes of the first six Urban Age conferences, asking questions about public space, transport, housing and labour in the city. It also features key local articles on Johannesburg as a global or world class city, the particularities of housing policy, and transportation as justice. The data section includes an analysis of the spatial transition between an apartheid plan and the ‘global city’ plan, and comparisons with Berlin, London, New York, Shanghai and Mexico City.
