Project intention:Some of the most unique and dilapidated places globally and nationally are small far- removed towns. The two distinct perspectives of decay and uniqueness prompted the dissertation analysing the small town condition. In this understanding the dissertation evolved to an investigation of the small quaint museum-town of Pilgrim’s Rest, Mpumalanga, South Africa. The town is unique in the fact that it stood the test of time. It is the only town in South Africa with national monument status and contains some remnants of our country’s first electrical technological advancements. On the other hand, an increase in decay in the infrastructure, buildings and poverty of the community affects external tourist activities. |
