The Sea Point Promenade belongs to the people of Cape Town and is used extensively by the Public for recreation, walking, running ect. This should not be sacrafised for more buildings. There are plenty of old Buildings along the beech front that can be upgraded. |

The Seapoint promenade is a place where everyone can be relaxed, sunbathed and a part of history. Its been there for many many years and it would be a sin to destroy one of CT's most beautiful places!!! |

Public Open Space must be protected as it becomes increasingly important in the lives of inhabitants of cities like Cape Town which is becoming increasingly densified and congested - people need places for casual recreation! |

This space is - and should always be - for the use of the people of Cape Town. It is unique, beautiful and full of the flavour of those that make up this city. Leave it alone. |

Would not like to see changes to SeaPoint, it should stay like it is for future generations, how sad the Cape is keen on becoming Jhb by the sea. |

It would be a crying shame,
if we don't put a stop to this now, where do you take your family for a nice day out in 10 years. Lets not make our beautiful city a concrete jungle. |

Sespoint Promenade is well loved and well used. Exulsion of any users by means of commercialisation is unfair, goes against the principle of having a "free" city. |

Public open space at Sea Point is precious. If is well used, and therefore there is no arguement that can hold that commercialisation will "improve" usage. Exlcusion by means of commercialisation is against the principles of personal freedom of use of our city. |

CT is already lacking of greenness, and greenness is one of the most important factor in increasing the quality of life of inhabitants and tourists. CT is developing not only because people are attracted by its commercial development and malls, but also because of its landscape and beauty. Environment and nature also have a great commercial value! |

I was born and grew up in CT and have many childhood, teenage and adult memories. I travel to CT between 4 - 6 times a year. There are times when nostalgia is more important than economic and commercial developement. |

The open areas should not be developed with financial benefit applying to the the developer at the expense of all the people of the city,and elsewhere who derive the benfit and pleasure of the open spaces,natural beauty of sea views and the environment. Needless to say the aprtment owners effected should not also be deprived of the views that they currently enjoy and have paid a premium for. |

As an architectural professional, even I must disagree with the exploitation of such an integral part of Sea Point and the broader Cape Town’s urban public spaces. There seems to be a definite trend to the way we are allowing developers (not all developers) to change the way we live, by sprawling shopping centers on every 2nd urban block. It was never necessary for us to find such apparent convenience everywhere we looked, and it’s certainly not as though we have acquired more resources to splurge at these “havens”. I’m all for mixed use integrated developments, but 2 things need to be considered when undertaking such a task: 1 – Successful, structured public spaces (as is existing) lays the foundation to the success of the development, and 2 – They need to be accessible to everyone across the board from all social and economic backgrounds and not just the upper echelons of society. This is key in maintaining the growth of the impoverished and letting them know they too are part of this beautiful city and it reminds the high rollers, local and foreign, that the world (more specifically Cape Town) is bigger than their bank accounts! |

The South African coastline is a public space and does not belong in private hands. Build shopping malls elsewhere. |

I think we should take care of the environment and preserve the peacefulness and beauty where we can all go to walk and enjoy ourselves without any shopping malls. There are too many already. Keep out beachfronts for us to enjoy. |

The area is already conjested. More space is required for parking. Area could do with a revamp, but should remain public for all to enjoy. |
