OPINION: Thanks to two decades of working hard, the CCID can bear witness to a CBD that has rising skyscrapers, safe and clean streets, a myriad successful companies, inner city residents, retailers and award-winning restaurants, writes Tasso Evangelinos.

Cape Town’s Central City Improvement District , the first of its kind to be established in the country, turns 20 this year. It is a milestone worth celebrating, and a model worth emulating, as it has proven its worth to Cape Town over the past two decades.

Thanks to two decades of working hard with our collaborators and partners, we can stand back today and bear witness to a CBD that has rising skyscrapers, safe and clean streets, a myriad successful companies, inner city residents, retailers and award-winning restaurants.

The World Cup was a game changer for the CCID, as the whole world saw people walking the streets of Cape Town. It fast tracked a change in perception and suddenly, the Cape Town CBD was the place to be. As an indication, more than 100 000 people flocked to the city centre for FIFA’s final draw in December 2009. The city hosted eight matches, and the pedestrian bridges and public artworks put in place are still an asset to the city a decade later.
