As you travel along the second most busy thoroughfare in Knysna, you'll notice it's beaming with colour and life, a testament to our collective mission of revitalisation.
Studies show how greening urban spaces can help reduce violent crime and positively affects mental health.* (Urban greening can reduce violent crime, Dr Frances E. Kuo in 2010)
The greening of Waterfront Drive embodies this spirit and works towards creating a safer, healthier Knysna.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the local businesses that have shown incredible support for our cause. Your commitment to beautifying our town not only enhances our streets but also invites intentional investment, provides good jobs and draws conscious tourists in.
Next time you visit a Pavement Proud business on Waterfront Drive, take a moment to thank the cashier or business owner for their efforts in making our town more vibrant and beautiful.
And encourage your favourite places to join us in becoming Pavement Proud.
Together, we can make Knysna a beacon of community pride and resilience.
