dc.description.abstract	On 26 June 2025, Cape Town City Council approved important changes to its Municipal Planning By-law in support of small-scale rental housing. This regulatory reform marks a significant step forward for this housing sector, which delivers more affordable rental accommodation in cities than the public and conventional private sectors combined. HSRC researchers have contributed to this policy change through years of research and engagement.	en
