Ponte City is a residential tower built in 1975. After the end of apartheid, during the 1990s, more and more gangs moved into the building, which over time made it an extremely unsafe and littered place to live. Ponte City became a symbol of violence and urban decay, particularly in the once cosmopolitan Hillbrow neighborhood. It was originally designed by the architects for around 3,500 residents, but by the end of apartheid, a maximum of 10,000 people lived in it.
