This website shows our research that we have finished for the MSc 3 Graduation Lab Urban Transformations, studio Spacelab - Cape Town, TU Delft.

The research started with gaining knowledge of the geological, historical and demographical background of the city. On the city scale we have been looking at the infrastructural and economic structure of Cape Town. And on the local scale we looked into the livelihoods of different suburbs. The results are shown in the pre-cape town section.

The section of in Cape Town shows the results of our research done in Cape Town. Mapping models of the city and interviews are the main input of our work done there. In the movie section the video of our these experiences is presented.

The post Cape Town part of the research is based on our pre and in Cape Town research. In the future Cape Town we have established our task for the future development of Cape Town. We define problems, potentials, research questions and our project phases, which we will continue in our individual projects.
