Watch this mini-documentary about the infamous Ponte Tower and its current residents. Rather than being an expose on a delapidated crime infested building, this film shows Ponte through the eyes of its residents, as an affordable, safe place to live close to the centre of Johannesburg. It appears that Ponte has shed its poor reputation and has become a desirable place to live for a vast segment of the Johannesburg population.
It seems that Johannesburg is not alone in its history of urban decay and subsequent re-positioning of its buildings. The Tower of David, an incomplete office development project in Caracas, Venezuela has become an affordable place for people to live in the city, where it is considered both a crime infested den and a safe, communal place to live, depending on who you are, much the same as Ponte.
