City of Lives

By: Andrew Putter and CPUT Graphic Design

City of Lives is a public installation on the streets of the Cape Town CBD, created by Graphic Design students from the Cape Town and Bellville campuses of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT). The project is the culmination of the efforts of 90 CPUT students, who worked over a six-week period with text and image to investigate and make visible the under-explored richness of life on the streets of Cape Town.

City of Lives forms part of an experiment by the Cape Town Partnership to draw more locals and tourists into the inner-city by making visible the stories of the City.
