Five broad urban development related themes are covered: social, economy, natural wealth, urban growth and form (from an infrastructure access and quality perspective), and urban governance.

In 2014, the 20th anniversary of democracy in South Africa is celebrated. Where the data allows, the report provides a 20-year view and trend analyses on the changes in Cape Town.
