New York City and Cape Town South Africa are two cities with two very
different histories. This week on the show we're talking about the
history of New York and the future of Cape Town.
Guy Lundy is the CEO of Accelerate Cape Town, a business-led initiative that
brings together all the stakeholders in the Cape region to develop a
long-term vision for sustainable economic growth in South Africa. He'll
tell us about the unique challenges Cape Town faces and the solutions they
can share with so-called "second cities" all over the world.
And, while all cities are looking to build toward the future, New
York City has a legal mechanism designed to protect its past.
Anthony C. Wood is the author of the book "Preserving New York," which
traces the history of New York's struggle to protect its natural and
architectural heritage.
