The name of the game

Capetonians are currently presented with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: the recently launched "Name your Hood" campaign gives residents the chance to suggest names for the areas in their neighbourhood that are currently nameless.

Taking inspiration from the prospect to tag our territory, I can’t help but notice multiple clues scattered all over Cape Town’s urban fabric.

What hidden neighbourhood dubbing cues have you seen lying around lately?

About Liani:

Liani is an architect who lives and works in Cape Town. With a keen eye for detail, she likes to make the places and spaces people use in the city enjoyable for all. "I'm fascinated by cities - the appeal not only being the bright lights and fast cars, but a city’s capacity to accommodate and provide the setting to multifarious urban lives. Even though our urban environments are familiar backdrops, they contain the potential to intrigue and amaze when seen in a different way. One of my favourite pursuits in any metropolis is to wander around aimlessly to get a passing glimpse of the modest and unforeseen delights the territory has to offer. Camera in hand, I enjoy delving into the urban landscape and capturing the average, as well as the amusing, in order to cast a fresh perspective on the familiar scene."
