Mother city, mother lode?: Cape Town's global competitiveness under the gun

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: A team of researchers scrutinised a host of statistics and interviewed 88 companies employing over 40 000 workers for a Cape Town City Council study to analyse the city's economy and provide advice about how to boost performance in the years ahead. The broad conclusion was that the City needs a bolder approach towards economic policy, because business-as-usual will not suffice for the future, writes IVAN TUROK and SHIRLEY ROBINSON
