Open Space Areas of Greater Durban: A Preliminary Survey by B.G. Cawood is a scarce and insightful regional planning and environmental study published in 1980 as part of the Natal Town and Regional Planning Reports (Volume 45).
Authored by a member of the University of Natal’s Botany Department, this work provides a detailed early assessment of Durban’s natural landscapes, ecological systems, and conservation priorities during a critical period of urban expansion. Open Space Areas of Greater Durban covers environmental factors such as physiography, geology, climate, and fire, before moving into an analysis of indigenous vegetation types including dune forests, mangrove swamps, bush clump grasslands, and coastal woodland mosaics.
Of particular value to collectors, researchers, and local historians, the report outlines both general and site-specific conservation recommendations, as well as identifying areas considered worthy of future protection. This makes Open Space Areas of Greater Durban an important reference point in the environmental and urban planning history of KwaZulu-Natal.
A desirable and increasingly uncommon publication, especially relevant to collectors of Africana, environmental studies, and Durban regional history.
