Question

What geographic features impact the growth of Cape Town

Answer 1

The following are the geographic features that impact the growth of Cape Town:

• The city of Cape Town consists of four different hills in the middle of the city, namely Table Mountain, Devils Peak, Lions Head, and Signal Hill. These hills have occupied a large area of the city that cannot be used for infrastructural development.
• On one side of the city, there lies the Atlantic Ocean which has been instrumental in the development of the city as it allowed Cape Town to establish itself as a hub of international trade.
• On the other side of the city, there lies the Indian Ocean which serves as the only waterbody between Asia and Africa. This makes Cape Town the most accessible point between the two continents.
