Cape Town’s Civic Transformation: Residents Take the Lead in Urban Planning

by

Cape Town is inviting its residents to help plan the future of their neighborhoods through new community groups called Spatial Planning Collectives. These groups bring together everyday people and city experts to work as partners, learning about urban planning and sharing local knowledge. This fresh approach means that residents can directly shape things like parks, housing, and transport in their own areas. By involving everyone, from all walks of life, Cape Town hopes to build stronger, greener, and fairer neighborhoods where people feel truly connected to their city’s growth.
