Its distance from the coal fields & power stations, together with the need to reduce carbon emissions, make us the natural choice to use & pioneer a palette of renewable options. This could embrace becoming a global hub for research into affordable low-carbon energy solutions. The region is renowned for its natural beauty. The challenge is to protect, even enhance this in the face of population & business growth. The Cape Winelands are an example of how business & beauty beneficially co-exist.

We need to embrace our identity as a global African City It can be seen as where East meets West, and North meets South – where the best minds of developed & developing worlds exchange ideas, challenges & opportunities. Where global businesses desire to have regional headquarters; where trade with Africa is facilitated.

This begins with the residents of the region – a vision is a story the people tell themselves – and we must tell ourselves, often & memorably. As city planners & dreamers around the world now talk of cities like Barcelona, so by 2030 they should be seeking to emulate the achievements of Cape Town. We are here to write a new chapter in our history.
