The Future of Smart Cities and Urban Systems in SSA

Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) is increasingly becoming urbanized with projections indicating a significant proportion of the population being in urban areas by 2050. How sustainable are the ongoing urbanization processes in Africa? Are cities a panacea for sustainable livelihoods? Is the notion of smart cities achievable in SSA? What are the challenges of an urbanizing SSA, and how best can they be resolved?
