The 'Golden Mile' refers to Durban Central Beachfront, a four kilometer stretch of beaches, promenades, hotels, theme parks, swimming pools and restaurants. It attracts thousands of tourists and locals each year. The last time the promenade received a significant upgrade was in the mid-1980s and there is broad consensus that the time is ripe for a fresh look. The municipality says they "believe the promenade is one of Durban's greatest assets and that this proposed upgrade is an important step in making sure that Durban remains South Africa's playground into the future". City Manager, Mike Sutcliffe describes the proposed project as "one of the legacy projects that will benefit the people of Durban years after hosting the World Cup".
