Abstract
In recent years there has been a rise of informal settlements in Cape Town, and other parts of
the country. Informal settlements are not a new phenomenon in South Africa, due to apartheid
spatial planning and segregated development, alongside rapid urbanization. Apartheid planning
and urbanisation have enabled the growth of informal settlements, particularly as citizens seek
alternative living spaces on the informal fringes of urban areas. This study examines obstacles
to the upgrading of informal settlements in Cape Town, particularly Ramaphosa, a newly
formed settlement on the edge of the City.
