Machakos County News - #Konza Smart Cities: Implications of #KonzaCity It is necessary to understand that Konza was implemented as a Vision 2030 flagship project to position Kenya as a leading ICT destination that would leverage and expand Kenya’s technology focused industries...A smart city like Konza would definitely facilitate industry in Kenya. Considering the fact that a majority of Kenya’s educated youth is unemployed, and the greater private and public sectors are stuck in archaic production systems with little to no research. Konza would play a major role in facilitating industry and advanced R&D in manufacturing...The Konza City could also take advantage of existing and upcoming infrastructure. The expansion of the Mombasa highway into a dual carriage way and the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR)-that has also faced hurdles on its implementation would directly benefit Konza...Konza city is a great idea, where people can come, learn and work; where technology is used efficiently to address all sectors – water, energy, housing, environment, health, transportation, education. It could be a great example for not only Kenya but for Africa.
