samsobo24:
I'm surprised that you are not still boasting about Accra village

thats because there is nothing in nigeria that can compare to it

and nothing in Nigeria will come close for the next 50 years

rvp2018:
Just 30 is right.

Nairobi and Cape Town rank among the most advanced cities on the African continent on the smart city front. Nairobi, capital of Kenya and home to over three million people, won the title of Most Intelligent City in Africa for two years in a row.

stop showing me building and houses. A smart city is more than just constructions, heavy application of ICT for proper decision making and control is needed. No Africa country possess this currently. Cape town and Nairobi has the potential to achieve such. But they are not there yet. If it was about properly building plans and nice houses. Almost all part of United State of America will be considered a smart city

kenyans can only dream if having a smart like EAC
Kenya and Nairobi lacks the funding if Even developing banana island.
Watch as my kenyan brother begins to rant two tower, when the EAC is already 40% completed.
Soon Africa's tallest building maybe 72 or 77 will be constructed.
My kenyans should just run along into mathare or kibera slums

Hahahaha

samsobo24:
I cant be believe there many illiterates like this on thus forum.

Imagine a kenyan claiming Nairobi is a smart city
Ghanians claiming that Accra is smart.

No City in Africa has any smart city except for EAC and other cities under construction around Africa

Kenyans like tylann tlann are cowards

Tylann and tlann are one person
Why are you picking on Me i wasn't even in the discussion of smart cities idiot

human ape. racial science are really stupid.

thank God such discipline is highly regulate now.

Smart City like Nairobi have higher internet speed than US or Australia, are pionering next payment systems like m-pesa, are well known to host international research institutions like Ibm and others, have some of most well-trained human capital, are attracting top talents around the world, is multi-cultural city hosting regional & global HQs of multilateral institutions and are well known innovation centers. Nairobi is without doubt the world innovation capital for social enterprises. It is without doubt the world innovation capital of mobile commerce & payments. It's without doubt has one best ICT infrastructures in Africa.

stanliwise:
stop calling Singapore. tell me what is smart in Cape town and Nairobi.

Someone hasn't understood what a smart City must entail!

Long suspected that curve was to make room for that Mountain to be in Tanzania!

rvp2018:
It not even 20Kms - that mountain is literally in KenyaTZ border - British Queen donated it to a German Prince(TZ short-lived colonizer) because Kenya already had Mt Kenya- the boundary literally make a curve in Mt Kilimanjaro.

Ok

I cant stop laughing, this coming from a Ghanian

Let me help you to hype it.Accra is most developed city

Kigali is overrated.People talk of Rwanda as if it's Mauritius!

tylann:

What about Kigali or the south African cities

stanliwise:
stop calling Singapore. tell me what is smart in Cape town and Nairobi.

cape town has one of the most intelligent city management systems in the world on par with Singapore
from Water supply
Electricity
waste management
innovative traffic management
transportation interconnectivity
and etc

I think the line ought to have been that way....before Germans asked the Queen to donate one mountain to TZ.

dont compare your country to any country in Africa or the world

Port harcourt is one of the most polluted cities in the world

If i tell you what lagos has achieved and is planning to achieve, you will be marvelled.

A city can be smart but not a smart city without entirely having a city that conforms with all basic infrastructure.
Talk of Lagos using technology for its security, see its transport systems,its plan to start using tech to curtail traffic, its electronic waste management system( failed due to poor MOU between the government and the firm),its plans to build new world class cities in its cities,its technology arenas, its smart security systems,its disaster management, and other plans like making sure the state has an independent power.
Those are few things that entails for a smart city but will only be a dream without building the city from scratch.


A city that wants to be referred to as smart should at least have an entirely planned smart city from scratch

Just30:
exactly why even Abuja and Lagos are not yet cities
they are just urban jungles

That is why they are ranked among the likes of juba and bangui

INTRODUCTION

Nature has always bestowed humanity worth unlimited opportunities to shape his surroundings and the world generally.From the oceans to the mountains and from the canyons to the reeds,mankind has faced and surmounted nature's challenging obstacles.All over the world,picturesque cities have been built on mountains and railway tunnels have been constructed underwater to link destinations.where some mere mortals see obstacles,men of courage and vision see opportunities and flexibility.Such is the story of Eko Atlantic City.

Quick recap: Since 2013, there have been an aggressive land reclamation project along the Bar Beach coastline called Eko Atlantic City which is now at the final stage. At completion,Eko Atlantic City will be sitting on about 10kms(4 square miles) of land.This is an area located just adjacent to Victoria Island by the Lagos Bar Beach.It will be comparable to the Manhattan District of New York as the developers disclosed.The area will be approximately the size of the district which boasts some of the world's tallest sky-scrappers.Eko Atlantic City will even be larger than a handful of beautiful Island countries.

The fairy tale have so far been turning into reality:













Furthermore, Eko Atlantic City will be home to 250,000 people of differnt nationalties and ethnicity. Developers said it will be world-class housing projects and residential towers.It is also expected that 150,000 will commute to the city daily for business.This is approximately half the population of a couple of states in the USA and more than the population of several island counties in the world. To put into perspective,it will be greater than the population of countries like Cape Verse,Bahamas,Brunei,Iceland,Malta,Belize.


The contract for the construction of Eko Atlantic City was awarded to South EnergyX,a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group in 2006.This was after Hi-Tech Construction Ltd,also a subsidiary of Chagoury Group,completed the km Shoreline protection of the Lagos Bar-Beach.

It will connect to an independent source of electricity and not the national power grid.stable power supply is a magnet for investment opportunities.

In a couple of years from now,Africa's Dubai will be sitting on the Atlantic Ocean.such will be a triumph for Marin Engineering.It happened in Dubai,and in Singapore,this time its happening in Nigeria.


Eko Atlantic will be a city to live and work in. With its tree-lined boulevards, waterways, manicured gardens, elegant plazas, three marinas and a stunning ocean front promenade, the new city will be a complete contrast to the congested, traffic-filled streets of Lagos.

I know. Ghanians are always better than Nigeria by mere mouth.

I begin to give up on you and your brother when you said Ghana has a smart city.
I'm not amazed,Ghana isn't worth the argument but its just for the sake of it.

A smart city uses modern technology to solve every of its problem
Traffic
Transportation
A smart city attracts business,technology, tourism
A smart city respects the Environment by laying down a reasonable % of its lavnd mass for Greeneries

A smart uses modern security infrastructure to handle security problems
A smart city has a central sewage system
It uses clean and renewable energy for Powering up its city
It has a single central water system
It has world class modern transport systems like Tram,light rail,cable car,efficient bus systems,Water transport systems.

it uses fibre optic cable to convey information

Note: A smart city majors on technology throughout its city

Etc
I have schooled you for free since you compare your Ghanian village with EAC.

EAC already has a functioning water system,completed its energy estate and other basic infrastructures etc

I wont be surprised if you still rant that Accra is better than PH,its what you're known for

Read and don't be left in the stone age

You are not only ignorant, you are also stupid as well.

does nigeria need such infrastructure now, the answer would be YES.But not now as you might have witnessed That the GDP has decreased to 360 dollar from 500 from previous year so now emphasizing on smart city will be a burden on the Nigeria economy. There are lots of other serious issue which needs to be addressed first.


Nigeria is a huge country it requires a lot of funds for making a city smart and at the same time theor other issues like malnutrition, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment. continuous university. strike .these things need to be sort out first .

Government should emphasize more on smart people instead of smart cities, making people aware of the happening in and around the world.Sooner or later smart city will turn into the dull one if people aren't smart enough.

I think mergers will be the next big thing in Kenya.Mergers create big players with enough muscles to survive and to grow further.I think counties should be merged and halved from the current 47 thus creating huge economies of scale! rvp2018

Hahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahshahhahahahaha

I can't stop laughing.... hahah see your poor definition of smart city hahahahhahahaha.
so this is what you have in mind when we are talking about smart city.

Answer this:
1. Does Nairobi have a detailed database of it citizen?
2. Are there tele-medicine and remote healthcare for majority of Nairobi citizens?
4. Does Nairobi or capetown have smart urban lightning
5. How intelligent is Nairobi transport system and traffic management, smart buses. cars etc
6. Does citizens now rely on technology for driving, touring, payment of tax.
7. Does capetown and Nairobi have sound management systems.
8. Can you rate Nairobi and capetown power management 80%

This is just a few of the list as if you notice Nairobi and Cape town has little bit of everything but they are at the infant stage. Stop trying to be a fanatic.

The CCTV camera footage of both Dusit and Westgate attacks can be readily fetched.This wouldn't happen in Nigeria as the power would have probably been off during the attack time making the cameras off!

first of all,
you dont need a new city built from scratch except when your entire city is a slum.

That is why they are ranked among the likes of juba and bangui

you are mean

They may not be totally perfect smart cities but Nairobi and Capetown do rank above most in Africa and the world.For instance in 2015,Nairobi was position 21 worldwide-that tells you something!

Nairobi has all that - and more. Nairobi power management is at 99%. Kenya has database of all it's citizen.All cars details are available as USSD or mobile app. Nearly all gov services are online. IBM research just helped Nairobi make huge improvement in "ease of doing" business to around top 60. Nairobi has telemedicine and so much more latest innovation linked to mobile money and commerce. Nairobi has the ubers and smart taxis - smart motorbike - and now it's becoming smart dafnos now.

Nairobi have smart cameras - Huwaei won SMART CITY award for installing 150M dollars worth of smart cameras in Nairobi - these have face recognition, number plate recognition and all the shebangs

Right now I think in most of Nairobi - power companies can do "live" maintenance and brown outs are now disappearing - because we have built redundancy lines.

I can go on and on - but people who know their stuff - already ranks Nairobi and Capetown - African smartest cities.

Don't think Nairobi is your SLUMPOLIS.
