In Port Elizabeth, a coastal city in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, city officials hope to catalyze development surrounding the river and port, as well as other parts of the Baakens Valley Precinct, a 300-acre (120 ha) site. The plans “will turn the city around,” says Dawn McCarthy, the municipality’s senior director for strategic planning and coordination in the office of the chief operating officer, speaking at the opening briefing for a World Bank–sponsored ULI Advisory Services panel convened in November.
