  • Kenya is building Konza Technopolis, a $14.5 billion dollar smart city that Kenya’s hopes will become the Silicon Valley of Africa, known as the SIlicon Savannah. Konza Technopolis is located 64 kilometers southeast of Nairobi, covering 20.2 square kilometers and eventually hosting 185,000 people. It will host a world class postgraduate university and will have a green, pedestrian focused city layout. Konza Technopolis is under construction and its first phase is planned to be completed by 2022. The full megaproject should reach completion in 2030!

    I don’t want to be a pessimist but all these proposals where entire new cities are planned never materialize or are a far cry of what was promised. Have programs to boost entrepreneurship and it in existing cities, also rezone have better public transport and improve quality of living to try and bring in the multinationals.

    • @jimg1056

      Konza is a bit different from the 'entire new cities' simply because Kenya has a vast number of youth with very inadequate opportunities in ICT, software applications, research in science and tech and engineering. Many of them have nowhere to practice their abilities and knowledge and Konza has just came in time to listen to their call. Infrastructure and Training facilities in the area are also being keenly built by Kenyan govt to boost confidence of capital owners and investors!

      "Nother Wakanda"? Is there a first one outside of comic books and movies?
      And this is most likely just one of those Chinese projects they use to re-colonize Africa, so it would be the opposite of "a Wakanda".
