Kenya’s Konza Techno City emerging as Africa’s smart-city frontrunner

The Konza Techno City, in Kenya, being developed about 60 km south-east of Nairobi, will be a smart city to better serve citizens and manage city operations, says wireless connectivity firm Ruckus Wireless sub-Saharan Africa sales director Riaan Graham. The focus will be on service delivery, improved municipal services, infrastructure enhancements, and using real-time monitoring systems. The goal is to build a sustainable and fully functional city that offers good living standards and contributes to the Kenyan economy.
