CONNECTED COMMUNITIES

Our vision:

Public transport and open public spaces are improved to create more enjoyable, accessible and attractive shared areas. Planned tactical interventions, street festivals and cultural events enliven those spaces. Public parks in Elsiesriver green belt and Hardekraaltjie are particular focus areas. Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the CBDs facilitate virtual connections.

Think of downtown Bellville as a palette, where space is made available for innovative ideas — music gigs, art installations, theatre performances, sports events, markets, mini film studios, webinars, fashion shows, and chef’s tables. This is the GTP’s vision for Bellville. A creative, vibrant, active and lively place, where people of all ages, nationalities, demographics and races gather to celebrate their city and their community. Its public spaces are created, maintained and used, safely, day and night. Art, play and commerce sit side by side.

It is also a sustainable city, with communities committed to reducing their waste and carbon footprints, by concerted, city-wide recycling efforts and safe passage for public and non-motorised transport.

This vision is within reach, through partnerships, investment and shared commitment to progress.
