It will link Atlantis to Cape Town via a high quality public transportation network, provide good quality education and health care for its residents, while simultaneously improving the degraded natural environment in which it will be located. It will enable the citizens of the City of Cape Town to achieve a higher quality of life that is currently almost out of reach.

The WesCape development concept is all about creating a compact urban form. Densities of around 65du/ha are proposed to create efficient walkable communities that support efficient public transportation systems and a mix of land uses that will ensure a limit to the amount of long trips residents will need to make.
