In his book, The City: A Global History, Joel Kotkin captures something of the sacredness of the human city; Cities can thrive only by occupying a sacred place ... [highlighted result]

But if we are a cooperative governance system, with the three spheres of national, provincial and local government, we are not, certainly, a federal state. For given the crucial role of local government in our Cooperative Governance system, particularly in democracy, service delivery and development, provincial and national government cannot function effectively without a strong local government sphere.
