Abstract

It is crucial for cities to be strategic about their investments and growth to harness the potential of urbanization and make the most of their opportunities. In this paper, we aim to deliver an insight into the array of factors that the city of Cape Town, South Africa, needs to consider, specifically when aiming for sustainable economic growth. The main results delivered by the analysis cover a variety of dimensions, including production, spatial, organizational, and human factors. These concluded main factors of influence are then used as a basis to present four potential policy strategy recommendations, inspired by the Economic Growth Strategy published by the city of Cape Town in 2013. They are specifically tailored toward a reliable infrastructure and transportation system, crisis management in terms of the water shortage, entrepreneurship and competition, as well as the mitigation of the aftermath of the apartheid era in terms of education and unemployment.
