Mouquet Green City is a large-scale, zero-carbon mixed-use development vision located at Mouquet Farm in Cape Town. Conceived as part of the C40 Reinventing Cities programme, the project responds to the need for sustainable urban expansion by introducing a high-density, integrated precinct that combines residential, commercial, and public infrastructure within a cohesive, future-focused framework.
The development is structured around a design-led urban model that prioritises walkability, public space activation, and environmental performance. As illustrated in the project visuals, the precinct integrates green corridors, landscaped public environments, and activated ground-floor retail spaces to create a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented urban fabric that supports both community life and economic activity.
At its core, Mouquet Green City embraces a climate-responsive approach, incorporating renewable energy systems, water-sensitive design, and low-carbon building strategies. The project promotes a compact, transit-oriented layout that reduces reliance on private vehicles while enhancing accessibility to key amenities, employment opportunities, and social infrastructure.
Developed through a collaboration of leading local and international professionals, the project represents a forward-thinking model for inclusive and resilient city-building. Mouquet Green City positions itself as a scalable blueprint for sustainable urban development in South Africa, demonstrating how integrated design, strong partnerships, and environmental stewardship can drive long-term economic and social value.
