abstract: During the apartheid regime, environmental planning was used for the physical separation of races and the protection of economic, social and spatial interests of the white inhabitants. After the abolishment of apartheid the goal of environmental planning changed. The need to protect the white interests was no longer there. The legacy of apartheid needed to be erased. 
Hillbrow is characterized by the fact that already before the abolishment of apartheid minority groups moved into the neighborhood because of the housing shortage in the fixed areas. Just few years after the abolishment of apartheid, the neighborhood was predominantly habituated by former discriminated racial groups. This had great influence on environmental planning and the mindset within the planning culture. The process towards a non racial, democratic local government appeared to be difficult. Within this thesis the shift towards bottom up planning is subject of study.
