The City of Cape Town is calling on residents, stakeholders, and interested and affected parties to get involved in the renewal and reshaping of Harrington Square, one of the key public spaces on the eastern side of the City Bowl. A number of workshops and public meetings are planned, the first of which took place on 21 April 2026. Please register as an Interested and Affected Party to attend the workshops.
Harrington Square is located on the eastern side of the City Bowl on the border with District Six, and fronts to Caledon, Canterbury and Harrington Streets. The renewal of Harrington Square and surrounds is one of the City's key priorities, with the intention to make this space multi-functional, more accessible, safer, and inviting to the public while optimising the parking area for clients visiting the local businesses. Included in the draft concept design for this project is the proposal for traffic calming around the square to improve pedestrian safety.
The project builds on the District Six Public Realm Study of 2022, and the approved Local Spatial Development Frameworks for District Six and the Central Business District (approved in 2025), all of which guide long-term spatial planning.
