💨 Abstract

The City of Cape Town has approved a hotel development near the historically significant Auwal Masjid in Bo-Kaap, following extensive community consultation and revisions. Initially disputed, the plan for a nine-story hotel was reduced to a six-story building with community input, addressing concerns about size and overlooking features. The mayor emphasized the thorough engagement process, ensuring the hotel's design respects the area's heritage.
