Johannesburg Ten Ahead – a decade of inner-city regeneration – Gerald Garner (Double G Media, 2011)
Johannesburg Ten Ahead – a decade of inner-city regeneration – Gerald Garner (Double G Media, 2011) This is a well-rounded book, setting out what has been achieved in the inner city across the spectrum, from public art and residential conversions, to new hotels and public transport. Although commissioned by the Johannesburg Development Agency for its 10th anniversary, Garner spends most of its 187 pages examining what the private sector has done to regenerate the city. Its numerous photographs create the right balance between text and graphics, finished off with worthwhile challenges to the city administrators. A small point - some captions don’t locate the where and what of the photographs.
