The Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading Programme (VPUU) is a multi-faceted approach to urban upgrading in poor neighbourhoods with a simultaneous focus on creating safe areas. This approach understands the importance of continued community involvement in the planning and maintenance of projects.
The first three phases of the VPUU were implemented in terms of a bilateral agreement between the City of Cape Town and the German Development Bank. Phase 4 of the VPUU is to be implemented under the auspices of the Western Cape Government. Phase 4 has not yet commenced.
For detailed information on the implementation of the VPUU approach in Khayelitsha to date, the question will have to be directed to the City of Cape Town.
