Knowledge Co-op project #21. Footbridge advocacy

Abstract
This document summarises the main findings of preliminary research carried out by postgraduate students at the University of Cape Town. Information contained in students' research proposals was formed from overt participant observation and unstructured interviews with local residents that identified themselves as being part of The Women's Circle. These views are believed to represent the wider community including children, people with disabilities and adults currently living in Statice Heights.
