Noted for its European and indigenous cultural influences,
beautiful physical setting, and biological diversity, Cape Town is
a major seaport and legislative capital of South Africa. Having
endured apartheid for 50 years, with the ruling white population
enjoying the privileges of power and wealth, the city is now coming
to terms with its past. Still, a tenth of its citizens live in
slums without plumbing or electricity. Slum dwellers have high
rates of infectious diseases; HIV/AIDS is a serious concern. And
infant mortality here is twice the rate of other city sectors. The
city's water supply is a problem as well. Cape Town is addressing
these concerns, however - an ""Integrated Development Plan"" is in
place and aims by 2020 to achieve 100-percent improvement in
literacy, poverty, and life expectancy at birth; to reduce violent
crime by 90 percent; to reduce water use; and to double incomes.
""Cape Town"" provides a comprehensive overview of this unique
metropolis - from its beginnings in 1652 as a supply base for the
Dutch East India Company to its 21st-century role as an emerging
international city.
