DAG’S COMMENTS ON THE DRAFTING OF THE NEW INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IDP) FOR THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN
In January 2022, #CapeTown Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis outlined eight key priorities for the @cityofct’s upcoming five-year #IntegratedDevelopmentPlan (IDP), 2022-2027. The priorities set out in the IDP will be the key guide to the City’s planning, budgeting, delivery, and #development over the next 5 years.
Members of the public were called to comment on the eight proposed priorities. DAG supported the identification of these priorities and went on to identify “increasing #accesstohousing” as the most crucial of them all. DAG strongly believes that addressing Cape Town’s low-income #housingcrisis remains one of the most pressing challenges facing the city. As a way of addressing this, the city needs to address this as a matter of urgency.
In January, DAG wrote a submission to the City of Cape Town (CoCT) regarding its draft IDP, 2022-27. Click on the following link to read our full response to the Mayoral Priorities… https://bit.ly/3rvK4IE
PLEASE NOTE: The CoCT’s Draft Integrated Development Plan will be made available once again for public comment in March/April 2022. This will give #CapeTownresidents another opportunity to have their say on the City’s priorities over the next 5 years, and to get involved in creating a better city for us all!
