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 |

Leave the promenade for the people that use and appreciate the beauty and accessibility of it. Build the shopping centers in the open fields in suburbia where no one will miss the views while they are shopping... |

The public open space in Seapoint is an important and wonderful part of our beachfront. Do not destroy it for commercial greed. |

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! |

The aesthetics of development in South Africa is misguided by money and bad taste. We need to preserve the spaces which foster community, they are increasingly hard to find with all the concrete and cheap chinese finishings (tuscan style). |

I strongly object to our public spaces being developed.Sea Point is well served by the existing shopping centres in the area and there is no need for this space to be developed.If developed for residential purposes only a select few will be able to afford this thus excluding the majority of Capetonians and YES the promenade is a place that ALL of Cape Town utalise at present. |

Building on the Promanade would be like building on the slopes of Table Mountain, just not done. These areas are put aside for a reason, to give the public a small piece of nature in our already overdeveloped areas! |
