Cape Town’s Urban Development Zone (UDZ) is a clever tax program that encourages people and companies to fix up old buildings and build new ones in certain parts of the city. By offering big tax breaks, it attracts private investors who bring new jobs, homes, and businesses, making neighborhoods lively and safe again. Walking downtown, you can see shiny new buildings standing proudly beside beautifully restored old ones, all thanks to this smart partnership between the city and developers. The UDZ has helped Cape Town grow stronger, turning quiet, rundown streets into buzzing centers full of life and opportunity.
