Woodstock, Cape Town - urban rejuvenation - the South African way
 Once (1884) the third largest town in South-Africa, by now one of the oldest neighborhoods of Cape Town, Woodstock is a vibrant example of creative urban rejuvenation in the region. Woodstock used to be a fashionable seaside resort until the massive industrialization of the 1950s. From 1859 the first South-African railway connected Woodstock (probably at that time still called New Brighton) to Cape Town. Hence it became an even more popular seaside destination and also a new center of light industry, attracting a new population of workers and artisans to settle down on the eastern slope of Devil’s Peak.
