The objective of this paper is to discuss the spatial formation of Cape Town focusing on non-white quarters. We pick up the area called "Bokaap" next to the central district of Cape Town which was developed in the 18th century as a case study area. The ancestors of the inhabitants are those who were brought from Asia such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia and so on. The area was classified as one of colored area under the apartheid social system. How western town planning theories had been applied to Cape Town is one of the major concerns of the study. Segregation of residential areas is the main topic which is very clearly seen in South African cities. Bokaap preserves the original grid because it was segregated as old malay quarter. We firstly clarify the history of the area and discuss the spatial patterns of the street blocks and building types based on the field survey. Most of the inhabitants are still Muslim and we can see many mosques distributed in the area. But the houses are very different from those in Dutch colonial cities in Asia. This paper clarifies the block patterns and classifies the courtyard houses in the area into several types which is well designed fitted to block formation. It is a little bit ironical that Bokaap is designated as a conserved area of National Monuments.
