Over 10 years ago, Cape Town’s historic Church Square was transformed from a parking lot into a public space. In subsequent years, however, it saw little public life.
In 2016, Our Future Cities was commissioned to conduct research and provide recommendations on how to bring public life back to Church Square. In 2017, we facilitated the installation of a Water Crisis Awareness Park in the square, which catalysed a return of vibrant public life to the space.
