Shape the City: Join the collaboration platform and share your ideas
20 November 2025
The City of Cape Town has refreshed its online Collaboration Platform, a dedicated digital space designed to enable residents and members of the public to actively engage in the development of the City. Through the platform, users can share ideas, participate in public consultation processes, and propose innovative solutions to help build a more inclusive and sustainable City for all. The platform is accessible at www.capetown.gov.za/collaborate - where members of the public can register, comment, contribute ideas and provide feedback.
‘Cape Town thrives when we work together, and residents’ ideas are key to shaping our future. The updated Collaboration Platform makes it easier than ever to share ideas, take part in campaigns, and contribute to building a City that reflects our people’s creativity and innovation. We invite everyone to join the conversation,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Corporate Services, Alderman Theresa Uys.
The Collaboration Platform enables ward committee members, community members and organisations to participate in proposed City initiatives. These may include local developments such as new parks, road infrastructure upgrades, renaming processes, and city-wide campaigns such as draft by-laws and policies, strategies, and even opportunities to comment on how the City plans to spend its budget.
The new additions include:
Multilingual Support: The platform is now available in all three of the City’s official languages (English, Afrikaans and isiXhosa) ensuring that everyone can engage in the language of their choice.
For You Section: To customise your experience. Campaigns relevant to your area and interests will now be prioritised, helping you find and access information faster.
Project Phases: Campaigns can now be organised into clear phases, making it easier to track progress and understand where projects are in their engagement lifecycle.
Events Section: Meeting information is now easier to find. A dedicated Events page lists all public meetings and includes direct links for virtual sessions. No more searching through campaign descriptions!

Once registered, you will gain immediate access to a wide range of City of Cape Town online collaboration tools. Register today and start sharing your ideas.
Together, we can make Cape Town a city that thrives on creativity, innovation and collaboration.
