CHAPTER 2 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: INSTITUTIONAL AND THEORETICAL GUIDELINES It is imperative for an empirical analysis of this nature to be aligned with national and international norms regarding town development and associated urban growth dynamics. For that reason a synoptic overview of relevant international literature and national policy documents is provided. 2.1 Academic Literature Review In order to provide a conceptual framework for investigating the growth potential of towns in the Northern Cape, this chapter starts with a short survey on the definition of the concepts ‘development’, ’capital investment’ and ‘potential’. Secondly, the role that small towns play in regional and rural development as well as the factors that influence their growth dynamics is summarised. Thirdly, we focus on the role and guidelines contained in the institutional policy documents relevant for the construction of the Northern Cape PSDF. 2.1.1 Defining Rural Development There is a lack of a common understanding and agreement on the definition of economic development amongst stakeholders. This is manifested in the persistence of unhelpful dichotomies in the development discourse: i.e. pro-growth vs. pro-poor; urban vs. rural; town vs. township; environment vs. development; big vs. small business; formal vs. informal business, etc. This in turn leads to a lack of consensus on what needs to be done and an absence of a common agenda. What is needed is an integration of these concepts (EDA Discussion Document, Western Cape, 2011). The following definitions will give an indication of the development scenario that can be expected from the Northern Cape PSDF. (i) Development: This is a process through which ‘things’ are changing to an improved state. The process of economic and social transformation is based on a set of complex cultural and environmental factors and their interactions. Development comprises different manifestations: • Economic development is about cities and regions continually improving their investment climate and business-enabling environment to enhance their competitiveness, to retain jobs and improve incomes. It is, therefore, the increase in 4
