The City of Cape Town is to meet with property developers to discuss obstacles hindering sustainable development in the city at the council chambers on Friday.

At least 200 property developers are expected to attend the half-day "Developers Workshop" and discuss the city’s ailing property development sector.

"The City acknowledges that there is a need for better communication between itself and property developers," says Mayoral Committee member for Planning and Environment, Marian Nieuwoudt.

Topics that will be discussed include municipal processes, environmental impacts, and an overview of current legal frameworks. The workshop will also establish whether there is a need to set up a Property Developers Forum to encourage interaction and decision-making processes.
Mayor Helen Zille will attend the workshop as a guest speaker.
