Kenya’s City of the Future
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Kenya is building Konza Technopolis, a $14.5 billion dollar smart city that Kenya’s hopes will become the Silicon Valley of Africa. Konza Technopolis will lie 60 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.

best luck from Egypt to our brother in Kenya
Thanks. We wish the best for you too.
Thankyou fellow comesa
thanks a lot
What about Ethiopia? 🤔
Best luck also from Italy!
Big up to our neighbours in 🇰🇪Kenya, big love from 🇺🇬Uganda, we pray for the success of this project so that East Africa continues to grow ✌
Africa deserves this, congratulations from Poland! 🇰🇪🇺🇬🇵🇱
Thankyou neighbour🇰🇪🇺🇬
If ur from Uganda u know the type of corruption going on here. Its most likely this city isnt going to happen
@@frogmanthelibertarian1482 good luck to you too in Eastern Europe
@@jos3ph471 You need to visit the site becauae its already being built.
Lets goooo kenya! Love from Egypt. African nations will rise again
Thank you 😊
Egyptians don't consider themselves africans so pls be quiet
I love kenya from ethiopia.we have big mega projects in The world
I can't wait to see huge smart cities in Africa in the near future!
For now the major constructing cities are the egyptisn ones and this kenya one
Yess me too

Smart cities ain't good..
@@luigot1 why do you think this?
That's super awesome Kenya.. Lots of love from bongoland
The waste management infrastructure of this new city is a good sign.
Will probably be the cleanest city in Kenya.
Could be a good example, if it works out.
Wish he had talked more about it
Africa is an amazing continent. And Kenya is one country that sticks in mind of becoming a superpower of Africa. Kenya has so much potential and their technology sector is booming. I feel like Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Egypt, Morocco, Ethiopia, and The Seychelles will be the leading countries to make Africa a superb continent for business, tech, tourism, etc.
Respect from someone living in the US
@Johnson Taylor yeah Ethiopia too
@Johnson Taylor this is good Ethiopia has been a good neighbours of Kenya.
Much appreciated from someone living in Naivasha, Kenya
@@kefini_wa_Muthoni Nakuru people lol
am so proud of my country,though the government is so corrupt i can see that they're still struggling to do something great 💖,hope the project will not fail
let's concentrate on the positive
@@Keithjaydenxx I hear u bro
props to Kenyan for looking to the future and keeping East africa on developed
Good luck and all the best from usa, I can't wait to go back to Kenya this year 😊😊🇰🇪🇰🇪
I wish much success for this enterprise and to Kenya!
These videos are really uplifting and inspirational. I hope this city is a success and they can replicate this across Africa, this way Africans will have opportunity in Africa and be able to stay in Africa, and some of the Africans that have relocated to the West can move back.
Agreed , Africans can move back and work our fellow brothers
Africa needs those kinds of initiatives urgently, to become independent from the 'West' and China ASAP. Hope everything goes well :)
We can't do that for now . no tech industry in africa so smart cities must have china and the west as major players
I highly doubt the city will remain desolate...as of now we Kenyans seek to have focus shift from the chaotic Nairobi to something more peaceful with a mix of greenery and walkable neighborhoods that is less polluted. I believe it would be taken positively 🇰🇪
The great thing about periphery and semi periphery countries is that they still dare to dream big. That really is something that the richer countries don't do anymore
I'm liking this comment because you said "the great thing". However, I don't understand the periphery thing. I will goof though 😊😂
GOOD LUCK FROM THE PHILIPPINES!
Although I'm not in Kenya or Africa I hope this project gets finished soon
Sending much love ❤️ from Senegal 🇸🇳
Kenya government must to build smart cities with high skylines and good roads and bridges and create jobs for the people of Kenya
This is wonderful. The only thing I would add is that besides tech/silicon valley - type industry, Kenya should consider becoming the medical hub as well. Producing a percentage of the world's medical necessities is a good investment. You cannot go wrong in that industry. Whether producing medical equipment, medicine or medical tourism. I wish only the best things for Kenya. They are headed in a positive direction.
Mwale Medical and Technology city, Kakamega, is already at it.
More people needs to see this keep Up the good work
Bonjour i am a French subsciber and i love your channel ! I love futurology and your video ! Continue comme ça et vivement la prochaine vidéo ! Merci pour le like !
Good luck!
From India
thanks.. Kenya love India
The key part of the project seems to be the university, that is what can help attract investment and people into the city.
When you realize new Mombasa is about to become reality let’s just hope the covies don’t glass it
Halo 3 ODST reference eh? .))
I don't understand your comment

Go on Kenya. Let's rival our brothers in Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, S.A, Ghana, Namibia, Rwanda etc
Feels good to know that you remember us
Would you consider doing a progress report on existing smart cities? How many of them end up being a good return on investment vs giant boondoggles? Are there any important factors that contribute to their success or failure? I've heard about *so* *many* of these over year years, but get the impression that most fail to get out of the "making promises" phase and into the "delivering promises" one.
Why donot u make a playlist on every country's smart city starting from a to z....
It will attract all the countries people to your channel
Only one african state building a smart city , that is kenya .
Your country has no developement
@@hisgracewali701 well hisgrace i am not african i am an asian
But i love exploring more about africa
@@KiranKumari-dy7bv why can't u pay a visit .thanks
God bless Kenya 🙏
I love your videos.
Especially of projects like this, where previously poorer regions of the world take on ambitious infrastructure projects, that lead to higher demand for educated people.
I really hope that this will succeed. A great scenario, since Kenya is an agricultural nation, would be that some of the tech companies that move in, are dedicated to agricultural R&D, and that this tech will spread to the rest of the region.
Wow, the future is bright. Kenya to the world:)))
Just one correction. It will be known as the Silicon Savanna not Silicon Valley.
Great video, and we in Kenya will make sure its complete.. Kenya mbele!
Such optimistic people like you ndo tunataka. ..its really surprising how Kenyans are sometimes negative of almost every beautiful thing in the picture..
@@terriegeorgez1380 its amazing to me too. i see all the good things going on and i know the future is bright. our children will be richer, safer and happier. hawa wengine its like wamekataa kuona how our country is really growing.very sad.
Prosperity is the key to world peace.
Best of luck!! From India.
I am Glad you put this into light.
is an Ethiopia-Kenya-Rwanda development triangle forming?
We about to get the real Wakanda lmao
yeah you keep laughing Nick
@@michaelhayes4231 .....?
😂😂
@@cogolerlorens4692 what's funny though?
@@michaelhayes4231 nothing really. We just about to get the real Wakanda yoh. Like Wakanda was supposed to be in East Africa and Kenya is in East Africa so your thinking was in line 😁
Like your videos keep Up the good work
I hope that the city will have affordable and good quality housing for non-tech and other low wage workers. This is a big issue in Silicon Valley and other US cities and is one of the causes of homelessness.
Cool the Kenya is building a new city a little outside of the capital.
*Zamina mina Zangalewa by Golden Sounds plays*
Can you make a video about tanigers new smart city?
Thank you for the idea!
Good luck to Kenya :)
Plzzzz make a video on indian future cities plzzzzz
Man, after living for 11 years in Kenya, I'm pretty sure that it's going to be far from happening
11 years is not a long time, and it's already happening
Be patient..11 years is way shorter for a country that's just 58 Years old...our president said today that we can't be developed by a period of 5 years..The most developed countries in the world took centuries to be where they are..we are actually way moving fast..we are still amending our Constitution and hopefully see to it that these things will be real...
@@terriegeorgez1380 The only things so far that I can praise Kenya would be its mobile network and its love for football.
I don't like how archaic some of its supposed areas of tech is. Uhuru promised a lot of things that he delivered on a miniscule scale, or delivered poorly where it put more harm in the economy than its worth.
The fact that its been in an economic trough for half of the time I've been there shows the effects of its poor state of government and its standards.
Most developed countries didn't take "centuries" to get where they are right now. The UAE and Qatar propelled themselves to their current state half the time that Kenya had thought itself to implement a more proper road system. On top of that, Kenya had a push up start in that it started off acquiring modern technology in its independence and an established road network. Most developed countries didn't have such a luxury like Kenya
@@tandemcharge5114 Yes,I understand all these and by the way am not supporting the government for its poor governance or any other unimplemented promises...But one thing that many don't understand is that Africa is full of diversity and many ethnic communities..the only thing ailing us is the way to accommodate all and bring them into one basket and work as one..You and I know that your country (sijui kwenu ni wapi)or other countries don't have many ethnic communities and so they can cowork well without problems...We are hoping that we shall get through this and develop our country...About those Arab countries,they are lucky that they are a homogeny speaking one language and therefore making a great team...Same as those non african countries..
@@terriegeorgez1380 Somalia is a homogeneous country with the Same language, Arabs are rich because of oil😎
Konza city needs high skylines and good roads
The second you mentioned Microsoft, I started wondering how many scam call centers are gonna crop up.
They're so common in India because Microsoft and others had set up their support call centers in the country, training lots of people in the same tech and working patterns used by scammers.
Nice video.
This is a great step to modernization, but are other countries in Africa doing anything similar? I think Egypt or Nigeria maybe Ethiopia are doing stuff right?
@Bollox Off thier is no war in the next decade you are just a hater nigeria has one of the best agriculture potential nigeria is not a ticking bomb stop spreading lies
This is my contury I live in Mombasa beach road :)
I want to live here lol. It look so cool
You're welcomed bro,,,,we love visitors 💖💖💖

Very interesting. Hopefully it will be successful.
Since I didn't hear that it will have ''president's palace'' I this project has at least SOME promise
Why would there be a presidential palace?🤔

Great idea, definitely want to cover it in the future!
good luck
Lol I'm Kenyan and I never knew this existed
The project started 8yrs ago, too much slow
@@josephirungu9468 The planning was done 8 years ago . construction began in 2018 .
It must be slow because it is a smart city , otherwise it would have moved very fast just like Tatu and mwale
You need to keep yoursel informed
Where have you been all this time???
Stop embarrassing yourself every Kenyan knows Konza
Yay, my country!!
VERY GOOD

Forgot to tell you fun fact about us Kenyans, we’re in love with animals, we have the only city in the world with a park
Once it's built Americans and Europeans will still be like: "buT i ThOUgHT thERE WAs no TeCHnoloGY IN aFriCa". A shame the Western world is overlooking Kenya's development, Kenya's an awesome role model for SSA. Hope the rest of the region can learn from them.
I just hate how People generalize the west and exagerate lots of things including their People (wich is Basicly what you and other People criticize)
I must say, your comment is Just stupid. Do you know how many nations are growing fast? And do you know what People care about? Why would media report about development of a country when they can chose one that is not developing atrackting more people. Also Even fast developing countries are much more than just Africa. Lots os Asian nations like Philipines, Vietnam, Malasya, Indonesia, India, Pakistan etc
I Live in the west, and I have to say. People exagerate to much what media says. Speccially considering the fact that I have never seen Kenya in media (they don't care about Kenya, the same way Kenya's media doesnt care about Portugal)
Also yes, most african nations don't have much hope. And thats commun knowledge. So, what media says isn't necessarelly wrong. But its exagerating saying that europeans and americans think Africans are primitivo and have no techonology
Pls stop

Africa has hope , did you know rwanda ?
@@marcioluis3829 Africa in general because most african nations are just getting worse and worse with terrorism in some, corruption in almost all, etc. Thats why I said Africa as a whole (ofc there are ecpetions like northern african countries, Nigeria, Etiopia and Rwanda, but most nations are just gone)
If all of Asia was developing fast or at least most asian nations I would say only Asia, refering to all asian countries as a whole
Hi please talk about the the jeda tower
NICE
Do they have lions there
No
That's a lousy question.
Actually yes. It borders a game reservation
They are actually, they are located in their national park.
we dont have lions roaming around in kenya, if you go to a national parkk yes
Kenya
Thank you so much. Keep connect with me. It will be so much fun.
🧡🧡💛💛💚💚❤️❤️💜💜💙💙👍👍
I live and stay in kenya, it should have been completed and occupied as we speak, some firms opted going to rwanda, why ? You got it , corruption and kickbacks.
That’s why I’m saying that city will never be finished.
Not always just corruption, don't forget kenyan currency is stronger than many of her neighbours thus more expensive for the investors
I commented first in the entire 2022 year

There's no point of starting these expensive cities if the youth are jobless

@@lewismugo4070 why do you say so?
This projects are meant to create jobs you pessimist
@@AGeeez I highly doubt it. the government should not rely on such long-term projects to create jobs.
@@AGeeez how many people will be absorbed by this project compared to the number of the unemployed. It is not a sustainable way of creating jobs but a better way to enrich the rich. Be sure that someone will benefit from this project, and it won't be the youth or graduates.

any implications about this project if the East African Federation plan comes through?
none, Kenyan constitution remains supreme even in the EA federation
@@elkiq95 Kenya definitely stands out in the EA federation.
@@iyobyulius7355 Not necessarily, we expect Tanzania to overtake us once they ditch socialism and Uganda once their population overtakes ours. The beauty is that as a nation we have already anticipated this and are investing heavily in our neighbors to benefit from their growth.
@@elkiq95 thank you for the interesting info. it seems that the african continent will generally massively improve considering how unaffected the continent is by the pandemic
EA Federation will never become a reality, too much mistrust between Kenya and Tanzania
I hope it’s Normal GDP per capital would much Kenya’s normal GDP growth product from 2021 and onwards because back in 2009 Kenya had a GDP per capital of $905.13, but it grew Slower from 905.13 to $2075 nominal GDP per capital vs GDP per capital Power purchasing prosperity of $4,993, unlike South Africa which was $5,860.80 in 2009 vs 2020 of 11,200 GDP per capital While countries with Lower GDP Growth in come is lower than Kenya in 2020 of $194.4Billion when you research Kenya’s GDP 2020,Like Seychelles, has a GDP per Capital, of $13,000, but gross domestic product of $2.75BillionMauritius,$8900, and gross domestic product 29,63 Equatorial Guinea of $7,900, but gross Domestic product of $10.50 billion Botswana of $7,000, gross domestic product of 17.00Billion USD,Libya of$ 6400, But Gross Domestic product of $45.00 billion, Namibia of $5200, But gross domestic product of $10.30 Billion, Gabon of $ 8900, and gross domestic product of $39.58 Billion and Swaziland of $4750, but gross domestic product of only $4.10Billion we need to do better next year and onwards than what we did before from 2000, to 2020.

Nani anaona Konza ikiwa chocha
Kusema ukweli si chocha on the ground kazi inafanywa. Kama drainage system yake iko karibu kumaliziwa so I'm quite hopeful
Chocha na ume ona the ground work ime fanyika?!?!?
Sioni ikiwa chocha. Wameeka road na hizo systems. Lakini naona real estate ikiendelea mbio kuliko ofisi na companies. Next ni hiyo university.
