Showcasing Excellence: Mayor's Portfolio of Urban Sustainability

Overview

The Mayor's Portfolio of Urban Sustainability profiles existing City projects that encompass the principles of sustainability. These projects aim to address environmental, economic and social issues in an integrated manner and within a framework of good governance.

The primary objectives of the Portfolio aim to publicly profile the City’s continually evolving response to complex issues, highlighting examples of best practice to encourage learning and collaboration among City officials, and motivate for the mainstreaming of sustainability considerations into projects managed and supported by the City. Additionally, the lessons learnt from the Portfolio are anticipated to contribute to building a resilient, productive and equitable city by increasing the awareness of best sustainability practice within the City of Cape Town. Beyond the publication date, the Portfolio will leave a legacy that can inform future project planning and implementation processes.
