The City of Cape Town is conducting a household survey to gain insight into the socioeconomic circumstances of different communities, with over half of the targeted 10,000 interviews already completed. Residents can participate to help shape their communities’ future and enhance service delivery. The collected data is confidential and adheres to the Protection of Personal Information Act, and participation is voluntary. Kantar, a data collection agency, is conducting the survey with safety measures in place to ensure legitimacy and minimize privacy intrusion.
Cape Town has launched an extensive household survey in partnership with Kantar to gain a deeper understanding of its diverse residents. The survey covers every suburb within the city limits and aims to shed light on the authentic experiences of people living in Cape Town, addressing matters from resilience and mobility to safety and service delivery. The initiative reflects Cape Town’s unwavering dedication to its residents and is planned as a consistent activity, with a largescale survey scheduled every two years. The city is redefining traditional urban planning and development models by engaging with its residents’ voices.
