    Privatization of public spaces and its impact on the socio-political and spatial landscapes of the Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCCID) A dissertation submitted to the Department of Town and Regional Planning in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Town and Regional Planning BY: AGYEMANG FREDUA 2017 Declaration I declare that this research is my own work and has not been used previously in fulfillment of another degree at the University of KwaZulu-Natal or elsewhere. Use of the work of others has been acknowledged in the text. Signed by: ………………………………..….............Date……………………………………………… Agyemang Fredua ……………………………………............Date……………….…………………………… Supervisor: Dr. K. Mchunu Page | i Acknowledgements I thank the Almighty God for making this work a dream come true. Also, my profound gratitude goes to my family, Mr. Kwame Kyeremateng, Madam Abena Dentaa and Eugene Owusu Agyemang for their encouragement and support. Again, my profound gratitude goes to my supervisor, Dr. K. Mchunu who through his constructive criticism saw me through this project. Lastly, I am highly indebted to the staff and management of the City of Cape Town and the Cape Town Central City Improvement Districts and the interviewees for their valued time and assistance. Page | ii Abstract Globalization and its antecedent neoliberalism have brought untold competition amongst global cities. As cities strive to bid for the highest order in terms of maintaining and attracting both local and foreign investments as well as tourists, it is imperative to build socially cohesive, environmentally friendly and economically competitive cities as these attributes have become key essential. However, not every city has the financial means to undertake such obligations so they often resort to the formation of public-private partnerships, a phenomenon often termed as Business Improvement Districts, for the attainment of such goals.

Our numbers were small as so often occurs in Winter but we got stuck into discussion regarding the October Rotary Family Health Day, the prospect or possibility of registering for meeting attendance online at Club Runner and the Dragon Boat Race. RFHD is to take place again at the Sentinel Ministry Church. We didn’t hold a RFHD last year but it is all hands on deck this year and with the assistance once more of Am Kap Rotarians. The event takes place over 3rd, 4th and 5th October and is really is a case of all available RCHB Rotarians pitching in. This doesn’t mean three full days of duty for all. A roster will be set up but please put your name down for as much time and days as possible. This is an amazingly successful event and RCHB has always shown its colours, achieving recognition from District and RI. All of the testing of key health elements makes such a difference. Blood pressure, Diabetic, HIV and eyesight to name just some.

    Distance Running Results Vol. 8, No. 38 – 23 September 2008 © Distance Running Results. All rights reserved. ____________________________________________________________________ Distance Running Results (DRR) publishes results of races 800 metres and longer from all over the world with the focus on South African results. DRR is available by subscription only. For subscription information send an e-mail to the address at the end of this issue. Publisher: Riël Hauman ____________________________________________________________________ EDITORIAL The weekend’s Nedbank Cape Town Marathon produced five of the top ten men’s times for the year (see Stats Time) and one list leader (Paulus Masilela in the grandmaster division), but the highlight of the race was the brilliant new Western Province masters record of 2:31:58 by Vladimir Kotov. With this performance Kotov, who was fourth in the Olympic Marathon as long ago as 1980, shattered Brian Mather’s 2:40:32 set two months short of 18 years ago. Incidentally, Mather will be returning to his native Scotland at the end of this month. The first South African man was Neo Molema in fourth. His 2:16:22 also places him fourth on the SA performance list for the year. Disaster struck in the accompanying 10 km when the top women went off course near the 8 km mark – a great pity in such a major race. (Last year Enos Matalane ran the wrong way in the marathon.) In Durban Professor Mollen (2:22:11) and Janine Carey (3:12:59) finished first in the Kwazulu-Natal Marathon Championships. Thanks to Rowyn James, DRR obtained the full prize-money list of the Blue IQ City to City races (results in last week’s issue).
