Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille is launching her book, View from City Hall, this week.

Spokeswoman Zara Nicholson says the book, co-written by Craig Kesson, is her take on her work in the city over the past six years; what it takes to build a leading city government; which major changes have been introduced and why; how she and her mayoral committee have aligned strategy with implementation; and some of the challenges they have faced.

The book is being launched at the Civic Centre tomorrow, September 19.
