or Swahili, it doesn’t matter – you are in the centre of town and you love Cape Town. It’s dynamic, it’s black and white, it’s rich and poor – all enjoying the same public space. “To me there is no better example of what a public space can do, because living in an apartheid-built city means that the infrastructure has been designed to separate you. Even if you build bridges, hearts and minds are still left behind. What you need is to have face-to-face interaction, opportunities to observe, to participate, to feel part of the bigger home.” For more information about the Windhoek River Walk Project take a look at their Facebook page on https://www.facebook.com/RiverwalkWindhoek/ or send an email to info@riverwalkwindhoek.com.
