Yesterday marked the beginning of the countdown for Open Streets on 26 October. A month until Lower Main Road becomes an avenue (pun intended)to experience Cape Town differently.
The message was clear: we don't need to go through long bureaucratic processes in order to start opening streets in Cape Town. People are ready to promote a city-wide movement.
Last month we embarked on a journey to Langa, one of the most historically rich and promising areas of Cape Town, to walk, talk and learn about its people and plans for the future.
