The only thing more exhausting than fieldwork is sitting in a conference room for nine hours.
Today one of the presenters was discussing Alex and he referenced Jane Jacobs’ assertion that life is on the streets (a view I agree with completely). If this is true, then the heart of Joburg (proper) is non-existent. There is hardly anyone on the streets, save for the occasional outlier neighborhood (Berea, Hillbrow). Not only is there no one on the streets, even the view of the streets is non-existent. The heart of Joburg lies in the townships, something I imagine would not go over well here.
