URBAN RENEWALS
“ In doing so Maitland Metro will contribute towards the desegregation and inclusive economic development of Cape Town , and reduce the environmental impact of urban sprawl ,” Reznik said .
“ The planned residential components for Maitland Metro are also perfectly aligned with the draft Western Cape Inclusionary Housing Policy Framework , and , we trust , the soon-to-belaunched City of Cape Town Inclusionary Housing Policy .”
UPGRADED URBAN SQUARE , POCKET PARKS & GREEN PUBLIC SPACES
The urban design framework incorporates a landscaping and greening component , including a public plaza on Camp Road , extensive greened pedestrian walkways , pocket parks , and a park will be developed under the M5 flyover to activate this neglected space so that it can host a variety of recreational activities such as mini basketball , chess , mini football , and mini soccer .
In partnership with the City of Cape Town , play infrastructure , street furniture and lighting will be incorporated to make these public spaces safe and usable , together with large feature trees for shade .
