Africa is ready to improve its position on the globe through Smart Cities Technology. The ultimate goal of a Smart City is transformational: to achieve enhanced quality of life for citizens and deliver tangible benefits at national, provincial and municipal levels.

Hosted by the City of Johannesburg, the African Smart Cities Summit is taking place on Tuesday, 24 August 2021 as a co-located event within the African Construction & Totally Concrete Expo. This fourth annual summit, which will take on a digital format, aims to tackle the African definition of smart cities, debate challenges and discuss opportunities, as well as investigate the successes and let-downs the continent has seen thus far.
