LIVE DESIGN, TRANSFORM LIFE:
‘Design to Transform Life’, has been identified as the main
theme of Cape Town’s bid. This theme is very relevant in the
context of a city that is spatially divided, spread and socially
stratified. The goal is to use design as a tool to cross spatial,
social, educational and economic barriers and to spread
opportunity equitably among all Cape Town’s residents.
