Delft Cultural Mapping Framework

Mthente was commissioned by the Arts and Culture Department (ACD) of the City of Cape Town to develop a Cultural Planning Framework for Delft in collaboration with Delft’s arts and culture stakeholders. The Framework included a detailed action planning in order to provide strategic direction.

The desired outcome of the research was to develop “a broad framework of long range goals to form the basis for more specific planning work in the future.  This work invovled extensive stakeholder engagement with the Delft community, local leaders, and people involved within arts and culture, which was supported by extensive secondary research on the area.

Mthente was commissioned by the Arts and Culture Department (ACD) of the City of Cape Town to ‘test’ their draft Cultural Mapping Toolkit  in the following previously mapped areas: Node 1: Bo-Kapp; Node 2: Woodstock, Salt River and Observatory; and Kalk Bay and Simonstown.  This ‘testing’ resulted in Mthente updatingj the Cultural Mapping Toolkit and undertaking a mapping study in Hanover Park.
