Becoming in an African megacity: Christians in Johannesburg and Pretoria' was a research project that considers the changing face of the church and faith expressions in relation to the changing socio-spatial landscape in the cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria. 10 regions were identified and 60 faith-based leaders interviewed, coming from various Christian traditions, to discern some of the ways in which the church is becoming, against the backdrop and in relation to an evolving African megacity'

The Centre’s research approach is to follow a praxis-methodology, assuming deep local immersion in communities, from where analytical, reflective, visioning and strategic tools are employed to read society, to foster a critical consciousness, and to make urban change.
