ape Town enjoys a vibrant CBD, a successful multipurpose environment that embraces corporate business, retail, tourism and a strong residential component. The latter has been the last to emerge and is the result of many years of rolling out a strategy that saved this downtown precinct from degeneration. Cape Town’s city centre is vastly different from what it was just 15 years ago, when businesses and people left the area in droves as the CBD went the way of many other downtowns around the world, falling victim to crime, decay and its residents’ flight to the suburbs. This process was halted in 1999 when the City of Cape Town and property owners formed a publicprivate partnership that was launched as the Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID) in 2000.
