Foreshore

The Foreshore is a reclaimed land area in Cape Town, South Africa. It was created through dredging and reclamation projects between 1938 and 1977, adding approximately 480 acres (194 hectares) along the city's shore. This development extended Adderley Street and created new harbour facilities, including the Duncan Dock and Ben Schoeman Dock, to accommodate larger vessels. The Foreshore is now a part of the city's central business district and features modern architecture.1

The Cape Flats are a low, sandy region extending inland from the Cape of Good Hope, situated on the isthmus between Table Bay and False Bay. Historically, this area was stripped of vegetation by early settlers and later became a truck-farming region and a location for large housing estates, predominantly inhabited by South Africans of mixed race.2
