Abstract
Like most mining towns that survive, Johannesburg and its
citizens have over the years sponsored many commemorative
chronicles that celebrate its beginnings, spectacular growth,
and the pioneers. … It was not until 1938, however, that the first serious study of Johannesburg as an 'urban experiment' was published.
