Cape Town's city centre, like most central business districts, was seriously hurt by the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated restrictions.The situation improved in 2021, with Cape Town's city centre gaining 135 businesses, with retail accounting for more than 27% of these.
Central business districts the world over were severely impacted by Covid-19, with offices closed as staff worked from home and entertainment venues shuttered amid social-distance restrictions. Hotels struggled to fill rooms because of travel bans, while stores and sit-down restaurants saw a drop in foot traffic as customers opted for online shopping and takeaways., stretching from Buitensingel to Nelson Mandela Boulevard and from Buitengracht to Canterbury Street – wasn't spared.
By the end of the third quarter, a total of 1,208 retail businesses were operational in Cape Town's inner city, representing a recovery of almost 98% compared to 2019 levels. "Looking at retail, pubs, clubs, and coffee shops… you can see the knock they took in Covid, but they are now close to their pre-Covid levels, and, since I created this chart about a week ago, I know of at least one more restaurant and one more coffee shop that has opened, so we are slowly but steadily working back to our pre-Covid levels."
