Cape Flats suburbs

The Cape Flats is a low-lying area between the Northern and Southern Suburbs, shaped profoundly by apartheid-era forced removals. It is home to some of Cape Town's largest and most densely populated communities. The City of Cape Town has designated several areas here as Development Focus Areas, signalling committed public investment in infrastructure and economic opportunity.
