Philip Todres has an obsessive interest in South African visual and performing arts. He has published the Arts + Crafts Map since 1989 and developed a broad range of special-interest map guides, which can be viewed at www.mapmyway.co.za. In partnership with the City, he publishes the Cape Town Green Map, encouraging green as an informed lifestyle choice (see www.capetowngreenmap.co.za).

Philip is a presenter on Fine Music Radio’s Cape Diary and is also a contributor to Book Choice.

“I am inspired by living in Cape Town and being stimulated by the diversity and range of what has increasingly become a dynamic and internationally recognised cultural and design hub. FMR helps me to stay connected to the vibrant happenings that the Mother City has to offer.”
