Cape Town as World Design Capital 2014

While I might be biased, I would say a great place to start a tour of Cape Town if you're interested in the city as a World Design Capital, would be the fringe. This is an area of the centre that was formerly downtrodden and derelict. It was home to a number of abandoned buildings, beggar fights and the police station, ironically enough. These days though, it's been transformed, and is now the seat of innovation in the city centre. You can pop into the Cape Craft Institute to see how crafts projects in impoverished areas have given the people some basic income, you can enjoy the newly created craft market on Saturdays, or you can pop into any one of the uber-hip eateries (Field Office or Charley's Bakery) to see how an entrepreneurial spirit and an appreciation for creativity have laid the groundwork for some fantastic small businesses.
