dc.description.abstractAgainst the backdrop of Africa's urban revolution and the vastly unequal housing patterns in most African cities, this article argues for just housing to be a theological praxis-agenda. Drawing from a very local journey in one South African city, it considers David Korten's four generations of development as a possible framework to guide such a theological praxis-agenda in (South) African cities. INTRADISCIPLINARY AND/OR INTERDISCIPLINARY IMPLICATIONS : It proposes simultaneous actions of relief, development, advocacy and global solidarity, grounded in an immersed faith, if the church is to contribute to housing justice in African cities.
