‘The shift in focus to mainstreaming basic services, informal settlement upgrades and site and service offerings and improvement of tenure will continue over the next decades as many governments in urban centres deal with the pressure of increased urbanisation of residents with no to low financial and social resources. Through our various human settlements programmes, from formal housing, to social and affordable housing, to informal settlement upgrades and backyarder services, we are building a Cape Town for all, together. We are proud to be a participant and host of the UN visit, to show what we are doing as an administration, but also highlight that there is much work to be done to bring a more dignified existence to all our residents,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Malusi Booi.
