• This volume offers new research and fresh insight into city-regions and changing space economies in the Global South. The research presented in this volume focuses on the largest agglomeration in a country and on a continent bedevilled by a myriad development challenges. The space economy of the Gauteng City-Region, which contributes slightly more than a third to the South African national economy and a tenth to Africa’s gross domestic product, has been interrogated in this publication by various authors through an economic geography lens in order to make sense of the spatial dualism that exists in Gauteng’s regional economy. From the comprehensive analysis across the various chapters in the book volume, this chapter highlights various lessons needed to make the regional economy competitive, inclusive and resilient. The chapter also presents some of the factors that may shape the magnitude and direction of economic growth and development in the GCR going forward.
