This article seeks to examine the development of statutory racial segregation in the South African city as applied to Port Elizabeth. The partially segregated colonial city was converted between 1950 and 1985 into a set of virtually totally separate areas for the different groups recognized by government planners. The restructuring in physical land use terms, together with the movement of population, profoundly affected the appearance and organization of the city, with serious implications for future planning.
The Geographical Journal has been published since 1831, and was the Society's journal of report until the relaunch in 2000. It has the highest circulation of any British academic journal in its field and publishes original research papers and review articles, which range across the entire subject of geography; they are restricted neither by area nor by topic. Post-2010 the journal has concentrated on articles relating to issues of public debate and policy-oriented agendas. Since 2000, the journal has contained limited Society news, but publishes a report of the Society's AGM and the Presidential address made at that meeting. JSTOR provides a digital archive of the print version of The Geographical Journal. The electronic version of The Geographical Journal is available at http://www.rgs.org/GJ.

The Society supports research, education and training, together with the wider public understanding and enjoyment of Geography. With its focus on society and environment, Geography is one of the most popular subjects in formal education and highly relevant to both life-long learning and fulfillment from travel.
