Public open space in Cape Town is increasingly under threat and while change is inevitable, change and related developments need to be handled sympathetically and above-all transparently - and not at the expense of public recreation. People first, not profit. |

The current, recreational use of these areas and sense of space contribute to a special character of this section of Cape Town and her people; for both locals and visitors.
It represents who we are: all experiencing joy in our own way, in the same place. Development of this area will absolutely kill all of this good energy. |

we need to preserve areas that are special to our communities, and resist the temptation to commercialise and profit, without regard to the needs of the locals |

BE TRANSPARENT is the key here. CT does NOT offer the runner and the walker sufficient places to enjoy walks (except in the mountains)without being run over. If you take away MORE public space, have you thought about this? If so, Did you get public involved - have you answered their questions and put their concerns to rest - what have you done to be transparent or is this just about money in back pockets for financial gain! |

Sea Point Promenade must be maintained as a public open space |
| |
| DBR Badenhorst | Signed on: Tue 22 Jan 2008 11:21:42 UTC
The Sea Point Promenade is arguably the most used public space in Cape Town. It belongs to the people and any development thereon will detract from the recreational enjoyment that it offers and is so essential to the lives of Capetonians. Cape Town would be the poorer if the proposed deveopment goes ahead. |

Just altogether a bad idea you cannot destroy what forms a large part of why the toursits come to CT, ours has been compared to the Riviera (Just a whole cheaper)its a ridiculous idea, we do not have the population to support not one but 2 of these what will become white elephants, we have the waterfront for the "shoppers". Goodness knows how Eskom will support them, they will probably be in darkness for most of the time - unacceptable idea to be thrown out with the other bad ideas people have had (like the stadium) another white elephant to ruin our city and its views, what are they thinking! oh yes thats right as usual they are not! its all economic for "these" people about making money, oh yawn how boring |

I feel it would be very short sighted to allow a commercial shopping mall right on the sea front, instead of allowing all citizens to use what surely are PUBLIC amenities - namely sea front views, airs and general space,maintained, not by businesses who have one aim in view - the making of money for themselves, but by elected councillors, who are answerable to voters. |

They've already ruined the Waterfront with that obnoxious parking lot. They could call it the Concretefront now and people would know what you're talking about. The money that would come in from the development would only go into a few coffers, benefitting but a few folks that already enjoy sea views from their properties up on the hill. |

If this is to be developed, please do it carefully! We cannot stop urbanisation but we can keep it within limits. Please do not put cheap, high, tacky buildings there. |

The seafront must remain a public space - with free access for all of cape town's residents and ratepayers, as well as all visitors to the city, to enjoy. It can't be swallowed up by private developers, no matter what the city's financial gain is. Some things simply are worth more than mere Rands and cents! |

rather spend the money by upgrading the promenade with a cement slab so that cyclists, rollerbladers etc have right of way. erect mini shops along the way selling food, renting bicycles and rollerblades like they have on the beachfront in LA |

The destruction of open spaces through the development of unnecessary high rise buildings and concrete commercial centres is out of control. In first world countries, development is controlled to allow a healthy balance between development and open spaces in the interest of the people and environment. It seems South African councils are easily persuaded by cash incentives, as opposed to maintaining and upholding the sustainable needs of the environment and its people. Council members memories are easily erased, when developers dangle 9 figure numbers in front of them. Where is the concern for the equal and invaluable rights of our people who live in our communities and cities?
IMPLEMENT A CONTROLLED BALANCE IN DEVELOPMENT - MAINTAIN OUR PROMINADE! |
