By the 1930s, the area had degenerated into an overcrowded and run-down neighbourhood, consisting largely of dilapidated houses, but by 1941 about 150 housing units had been expropriated by the local authority for redevelopment in a comprehensive renewal scheme for the area. However, the process was halted with the formation of the so-called "Group for the Preservation of the Malay Quarter", which fought against the demolition of the houses. At present, the area with its colourful housing units and 11 mosques is part of Cape Town's cultural heritage and a very important tourist attraction. As in the case of De Waterkant, a gentrified neighbourhood adjacent to it, the area has seen a large number of housing units renovated and upgraded. Property prices have increased dramatically, although they are still relatively low, while the number of properties sold is also on the rise - so much so that the community leaders and especially the Muslim residents are in a constant battle to preserve the neighbourhood's cultural identityBo-Kaap je stara delavska soseska v središču Cape Towna v Južnoafriški republiki. Leta 1930 je bila to prenaseljena in zanemarjena soseska s propadajočimi hišami. Leta 1941 so lokalne oblasti tam razlastile že približno 150 stanovanj zaradi programa celostne prenove tega območja, vendar je proces ustavila skupina za ohranitev malajske četrti, ki se je borila proti rušenju hiš v tej soseski. Danes je območje s slikovitimi hišami in z enajstimi mošejami del kulturne dediščine Cape Towna in pomembna turistična znamenitost. Kot v sosednji gentrificirani soseski De Waterkant je bilo tudi tukaj veliko stanovanj prenovljeno in izboljšano. Cene nepremičnin so skokovito narastle, čeprav so še vedno razmeroma nizke. Število prodanih nepremičnin tako močno narašča, da se lokalne oblasti in predvsem muslimanski prebivalci nenehno borijo za ohranitev kulturne identitete soseskeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUrbanistični inštitut Republike Slovenije
