# By 2040, Cape Town is expected to accommodate an additional 50-thousand residents in its Central Business District. To meet this demand, the city has introduced a draft Local Spatial Development Framework, which focuses on improving mobility, optimising land use, and encouraging mixed-use developments. According to Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Eddie Andrews, public participation will be integral to shaping the plan, ensuring it aligns with community needs. Additionally, the city is exploring large-scale projects like Milkwood City to address broader housing challenges.
