Cape Flats Details: Life and Culture in the Townships of Cape Town by Chris Ledochowski is a book of photography showing the lives of people who live on the Cape Flats. "Cape Flats" refers to the vast stretch of exposed sandy wetlands that lie north of Table Mountain and which now forms a large part of the metropolitan region of Cape Town. Racked by the harsh south-easter and frequently flooded in winter, the Cape Flats is highly unsuitable for residential purposes. But today it has become home to close on a million people.
