However, I believe the latter has not been adequately addressed, especially with regard to primary and secondary education. Therefore I would like to investigate schools situated in the inner city.

This investigation will help to formulate and isolate the requirements of establishing schools within the urban environment. Secondly I would like to suggest that a new trend towards grouping or clustering of education and information resources be challenged and instead suggest that learning institutions be located within range of other cultural institutions so that these facilities can benefit from such an association. 2010-06-21T12:10:04Z 2010-06-21T12:10:04Z 2010-06-21T12:10:04Z Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10539/8185 en application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf
