World Environment Day 2023 marks the 14th birthday of the launch of the Cape Town Green Map website, which was launched virtually on 5 June 2009!
World Environment Day 2009 was also the first time that the Executive Mayor of the City Of Cape issued an invitation to a virtual launch! And we are talking pre-Zoom days.
This totally green launch was promoted as: no speeches – so no hot air; dress – optional, preferably green; at your laptop so no car needed. Bottom line: more than 150 members of the media, local, national and international, logged in to the new website.
- The Cape Town Green Map was launched on the same day that our global parent, Green Map Systems, launched their website.
The map grew out of Green Goal 2010, the award winning environmental programme of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
There have been 10 editions of the print map, the most recent being the Cape Town Green COASTAL Map.
The Cape Town Green Map encourages you to live and play more sustainably and to make greener lifestyle choices. Green is not alternative, but an informed lifestyle choice to encourage you to experience the Mother City’s wealth of sustainable resources.
MapMyWay continues to partner with the City of Cape Town in this Green Goal 2010 Project, which is also a flagship project of 110% Green an initiative of Western Cape Government.
