Big-scale multiplication of low-cost housing such as middle-class townhouse complexes dominates South Africa\u2019s urban and peri-urban landscape and is associated with the reproduction of apartheid geography, with its forms of spatial segregation. The aim of this photographic project is to articulate and problematise this view. The pictures of <strong>Marie Thomas-Meilhan<\/strong>, a French photographer and architect, were taken while conducting fieldwork in Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni on middle-class townhouse complexes for<strong> Karen L\u00e9vy<\/strong>\u2019s Ph.D. research. They provide visual material and are the core of the analysis. At the same time, they are testimony to the current urban period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The photos selected show different aspects of the newly urbanised spaces. They interrogate the nature of the space created and the territorial fragmentation that comes with it. They show the repetition of the model, the security-driven town planning and the new life that it creates, dictated by a radical division between \u2018home\u2019 and the outside world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The photos are also showcased in the exhibition \u201c<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifas.org.za\/research\/2018\/2821\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Middle Class Life: the Repetition of the Model in Townhouse Complexes<\/a><\/em>\u201d, hosted at <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wits.ac.za\/origins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Origins Centre<\/a><\/u> in Johannesburg, from 14 November 2018 to 31 January 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>The opening of the exhibition was part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifas.org.za\/research\/uncategorized\/gated-communities-townhouses-complexes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the workshop &#8220;Gated Communities &amp; Townhouse Complexes&#8221;<\/a>.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifas.org.za\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Gated-communities_PageLayout_programme.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&gt; Download the booklet of the exhibition<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These photos are part of Karen L\u00e9vy\u2019s PhD research (LAVUE\/Universit\u00e9 Paris Nanterre\/IFAS-Recherche):&nbsp;Une ville moyenne pour des classes moyennes ?
