A couple of these are done already... so far so good.. Oh that is why the Ratanga Junction has been closed down... I guess Canal Walk is going to be another business district, They just expanding it. Nice!!
It looks absolutely congested with those residential buildings built up to the harbour. A massive influx of people in that area would cause a major traffic nightmare. The port is a busy working industrial area. It's not a good idea for the city to encroach on it. My suggestion is to put those highways underground to connect to the west of the city, then cover them up with an urban park and open public venues, not tons of buildings. We should look at Barcelona and Boston for inspiration.
Great projects, however they often price out South Africans and cater to foreign buyers. This has always plagued Cape Town or specifically the City Bowl. On the other hand, great investment opportunities for property speculators!

This is for the planning department of Cape Town,as a Captonian having worked in 5 commercial Banks in the City , living in Oz , all these buildings waiting to be approved by your dept. Please !! preserve the Natural Beauty of our beautifull City, the mountains and beautifull Atlantic Ocean . PLANTING OF TREES , TREES .!!! ........
It’s cute but not practical. I left my job in the CBD because of the traffic nightmare getting into town. Think of spreading out to areas like Century city and Bellville. A small fraction of Capetonians live in the CBD. And Lawd knows I’d hate to live in the city. Bring it closer to Stellenbosch, Kuilsriver, Bellville, the ghettos would benefit much more
I think the city should really think big and look towards the long term future. Centralising everything in Cape Town city bowl, is impractical and not the answer to becoming a global, competitive city. To spread out development, unlock more opportunities and to make CT more functional, other nodes should be developed. Bellville, being central and the most accessible from all parts of the metropole, should be turned into the financial cbd and transportation hub of CT, like La Defense is to Paris, or the City is to London. The City Bowl should solely focus on being the tourist, cultural and government hub.
I think they should extend the entire city.. Plett, George and other towns should be counties of cape town then they can make the western cape expand into the north a little
I'm trying to find the right words as not to sound to harsh and critical, because a lot of effort have been put into this. But the glamor vision of a group of business people vs the needs of people, social conditions, and what happens in reality - differs by light years. I don't care what anyone says, the only vision for any country should be based on Biblical principles. The basis of any vision should be immediate needs of people: water, food, clothing, shelter, safety, well being, etc. Architecture, glamor and futuristic things is cool, but it's totally unsustainable and the more they focus on that, the more the gap widens between the poor and wealthy people, the more society falls apart. I live in Bellville, Cape Town. Believe me, this type of development will solve NO issues or needs, or improve ANY suburb in Cape Town. Just take a walking tour through any suburb from Bellville to the Cape Flats, you will realize what dire situations we are in.
The development vision looks great. Not sure if these new developments projects could change directions due to covid. I am sure there will be some damage done to dev projects as aftermaths of this Pandemic.
These projects for the most part, though, are being funded and executed by the private sector, and you can *definitely* trust the private sector to pull through, far more than the public sector.
Very ambitious project but I feel the locals will be pushed out to the rural areas, but very proud of South Africa let's keep these places clean stop littering
CapeTown SA is 4.6 million as of 2020 so about 2050 it be least than 10 million or up and the Western Cape aka Greater cape town be least than 15 million. Cape Town RSA population is 4.6 million as of 2020 and area size is 944 square miles. Los Angeles California Population is 4 million as of 2020 and area size is 502 square miles. Both cities are diverse ASF Cape Town RSA is los Angeles on steroids I say it's like california the Western Cape aka Greater cape town is entire West coast of United States, Mexico and Brazil on Bath salts I put half of Northern Cape and half of Eastern Cape stop at Port Elizabeth part of Greater CapeTown SA also.
So that means I should buy I house before it becomes too expensive lik California. Johannesburg is New York. Pretoria is Washington DC. KwaZulu-Natal is Texas.
Beutiful indeed.......wht abt the so called "mekhukhu's......can de S.A government be able to get rid of aaaaaalll de "mekhukhu's. ......aaaaaall over de country.........LORD 😭
No idea yet. Didn't follow up yet, as long I have time I will check what is going on. Things are very still because of covid. Not still really but slow.
R20B?.. so...... $65k. got it. its not gonna happen. SA is seen as unsafe. the water is too rough for it to be something like Monaco, its too isolated. but its the lack of safety is its biggest problem. looks what happening in Durban. this is just a rendering, you could do the same kind of rendering for Afghanistan.

Hi from Russia to the most beautiful town l've seen. Maybe i don't like this project, but good luck to renovation.

Cape Town needs to be protected from the ANC. Cape Town should have some kind of autonomous city-state status like Monaco or Singapore.
Voetsek
Fadiel i agree with you 💯
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🧓"ANC issa Crook..bloody×3 greedy.." pls protect the Cape frm ANC by all means necessary
You people sometimes forget which continent you are living in this is Africa and y'all should be careful we haven't forgotten yet
Great projects, however they often price out South Africans and cater to foreign buyers. This has always plagued Cape Town or specifically the City Bowl. On the other hand, great investment opportunities for property speculators!
Either way foreign buyers mean foreign direct exchange
Very true. I always wondered why houses in Cape Town cost on avarage more than either cities in the country.

Mother city, i love it thanks brother from canada Montreal Quebec city.
Very cool. CT definitely needs a facelift.

Spot on. Too much is being cramped into such a tiny space...traffic is already a nightmare as everyone travel to and from the city centre to work

I agree, that way each section can specialise and optimise a particular role rather than overburdening one city.
I enjoy your content 👍 you got yourself a new sub
Very ambitious I like it I like it a lot! 💯
This will happen South Africa has potential
If you wanna see perfect Infrastructure Sandton Johannesburg has it all
Cape Town is catering for the international market while disregarding the people that live in the province, mmmhhh🤔🤔🤔🤔
lot of money comes from foreign investments and with that we accumulate more to be able to cater for the poor
@@onkemhlahlo2610 smart answers boi , we need ppl with common sense like u
Almost every major world city is like that. London's property is mostly foreign owned. The same is true for New York, LA, Paris, Dubai etc.

What’s the plan for the sprawling slums to the north?
Bro show us if they really are building the skyscrapers they said it's starting in 2020 it's now 2022
Good research and presentation.
Very ambitious project but I feel the locals will be pushed out to the rural areas, but very proud of South Africa let's keep these places clean stop littering
Is it started yet or just like all other projects
Have they started yet
My home city
great video!
Will this include affordable housing for those living in the ghettos?
The "Citylift" video might have been just a concept; not an actual planned development project. It would be insane to see such a project, nonetheless.
We need to explore all the possibilities. 🙂

I hope they move the harbour port its useless where it sits could be housing and entetainment on the coast not containers and cargo ships.
I wish govt must control crime and gangsterism
I hope 🙏 it's not also canceled
But the people of capetown live far from the city to enjoy dat

Cape Town has a lot to catch up compared to Sandton City.
Cape Town is beautiful but the crime is terrible.
What's the status of these projects?
No idea yet. Didn't follow up yet, as long I have time I will check what is going on. Things are very still because of covid. Not still really but slow.

You left Wescape City 🇿🇦
Is coming don't worry😃
Investors from other countries

Not on my lifetime !!
Don’t worry it will happen Cape Town will change
Imagine if the mob didn’t vote in ANC THIEVES
Othe anc is going to lose this year.
True
Who is the mob? 🤔
