    Abstract

    Our goal was to make recommendations for infrastructure

    designs and management options for informal traders to be

    used in the central business district (CBD) of Mitchells Plain in

    Cape Town, South Africa. We interviewed traders in the

    marketplace to communicate their concerns and suggestions to

    the City. We proposed canopy options and

    management improvements for the market. This project

    produced proposals for improvement in four main areas;

    infrastructure, waste management, merchandise transportation

    and storage. With implementation, the recommendations would

    improve the functionality of the marketplace.
