The study investigates spatial dynamics and patterns of urban public space utilisation in an African city, with a specific focus on Robert Sobukwe Street in Sunnyside, Pretoria. The study aims to examine contemporary issues with spatial consequences affecting African urban public spaces. Key concerns in this study include the effects of rapid urbanisation or urban migration and the interplay of formal and the informal sector on urban public spaces. Through a qualitative research approach, the study identified a link between socio-economic issues and the need for using urban public space for generating income. The aim was to find patterns and generate a general conclusion, giving readers an insight on how densely populated streets, with a diverse range of activities, functions in an African city. This information provides a perception on how rapid urbanisation will affect African urban public spaces on a larger scale. The study also reveals policy gaps in managing the informal sector in urban environments, while exploring the tensions between the law, human rights, and policies. Recommendations include the revision of local frameworks to better support the informal sector and the provision of supporting facilities.
