Firstly, what is a smart city?

We live in the so-called android generation where we have been introduced to smartphones, smart electronics and so much more all to please the consumers and make their daily activities much better and easier. What could be more ambitious in this age than constructing a complete urban center from the ground up? This topic gives a fresh perspective on planned communities centered on smart concepts and technologies.

A smart city uses information and technology to improve operational efficiency, share information with the public and improve government service and welfare to the citizens. The main features of a smart city are to optimize city functions and promote economic growth while enhancing its citizens’ lives.
In recent years, more African countries are pursuing mega smart city projects. According to recent research, Africa will be home to 2.4 billion people in three decades, more than doubling its current population, with the majority flocking to these smart cities. The number of Africans living in cities is expected to increase from 40% in 20 15 to 60% in 20 50, reflecting the highest urbanization pace in the world, surpassing even China.

    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst The continent of Africa is steadily growing in overall population, development and the creation of digital infrastructures together with the physical ones. Of course, being home to more than 50 countries with different levels of development and politics, there will be countries with more chances than other. Ghana, Morocco, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, are the motors of this change, and where the Digital infrastructures will grow first. There are exciting plans for smart cities in different places there, and even if not all come to fruition, the fact they are local based is already a big change. Local problems need local solutions.
