John Maytham spoke with Marco Morgan, an urban planner with GROWZA Think Tank, in response to a listener’s query about Cape Town’s traffic congestion and the redevelopment of Bellville as a secondary CBD. GROWZA, a South African non-profit, works to align African growth opportunities with global resources, aiming to drive social progress through community investments aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Marco shared insights on how redeveloping Bellville could decentralize business activity, reduce congestion into Cape Town, and bring much-needed innovation to the city’s urban planning. He pointed to examples of successful urban re-imagining in other cities and discussed how Bellville’s revitalization could help ease traffic pressure while enhancing economic and social dynamics.
