The Mandela Bay Development Agency uses innovative postcards to get their message across
I spent yesterday morning with Pierre Voges, CEO of the Mandela Bay Development Agency (NMDA), who showed me some of their projects in the Central City area of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (Port Elizabeth). Find out more about the work of the NMDA by clicking here.
Govan Mbeki Avenue in the CBD has received a R90m upgrade, resulting in a pleasant pedestrian-friendly space
Informal traders have been given permanent booths
The public transport area under the freeways is being upgraded and connected by a pedestrian link to Govan Mbeki Avenue (Note: as in Cape Town, the Nelson Mandela Bay CBD is cut off from the harbour and the sea by ugly freeways)
Communicating a vision is central to the NMDA's urban regeneration process
The historic Feathermarket Hall, which has been well preserved
The Priester John memorial in front of the Feathermarket Hall
Reviving the heart of the city
Love this city!
