The erosion of public spaces in our city has a detrimental effect on citizenship and the possibilities of creating an inclusive and vibrant city. Let's keep public spaces public! |

I have lived in Cape Town all my life (27yrs) and I have enjoyed the promenade area for as long as that. When I was growing up my father used to take me to the Cape Town docks and we would walk around for hours looking at the ships and enjoying the peace of the areasurrounding it, we would walk all the way along the promenade to the other end in Bantry bay. When the waterfront was developed and the land sold and built up it took a large part of our walk away, I don't like malls and I definitely love the way that area of Cape Town still is and I would be very sad and angry to see it changed. |

The developers' motivation here is clearly financial gain for a few selected individuals. At the expense of a great loss for many. This has to be stopped! |

As a south african citizen, to see the seafront not a public area is a sin, there are few godly places left for everyone to enjoy and the rich and famous need to go and find their own piece of paradise away from the place where south africans have the right to be! |

It would be atrocious, criminal in fact, for this space to be taken away from the public. There are VERY FEW public spaces that actually WORK DEMOCRATICALLY in this city, and this is one of them. The stadium is a huge (!) mistake - let's not make even more of those, ok? |

I love the promenade and as a person without a garden and an athlete I make use of it almost daily - taking away the promenade would be like taking away camps bay beach.......it would be a sad loss- we can shop by the waterfront - I and many people also make use of the pools there and the cycle routes and congestion from mall traffic would make it unbearable - please leave some area for the public!!!! |

The Sea Point promenade is one of the most joyous experiences Cape Town has to offer by bringing together all Capetowneans in the simple enjoyment of the ocean side. It represents the best of the new South Africa. There is so much exclusivity in Cape Town already - I would hate to see this development chipping away at the city's spirit. |

This is one of the few spaces we have left in Cape Town that hasn't been taken over by sickeningly ostentatious displays of wealth and exclusion. Please let it stay the way it is, so we can have some memories of how our city used to be before it became the Dubai of SA. |

Even though I stay in the suburbs I absoltuely love Sea Point and the promenade and would be devastated to see it destroyed by commercial development. With all the environmental changes that are going on in the world is it really that much to ask to preserve the beach front from even more resource draining developments? |

The Sea Point promenade is one of the few remaining places in Cape Town where everyone, rich or poor, can enjoy the beauty of the Alantic seaboard. Please don't turn it into yet another exclusive playground for the wealthy. |

I disapprove of what is being planned. The Sea Point public space should be kept for the public. It is a beautiful area for the public to take walks etc, and should be kept that way. We have enough private developments and shopping centres already. They are purely being greedy. |

I am strongly against development of any sort in public open spaces. Sea Point is one of few central locations where you can walk next to and experience the smell and sounds of the Sea, long may it remain so. |
