Smart Design in Kenya’s Future City

A New Approach to Urban Growth in Kenya 

Unlike past urban projects focused only on buildings and roads, Konza emphasizes long-term value. Its design brings together connected infrastructure, access to services, and environmental resilience. The goal is to create a livable city where people can move easily, connect digitally, and benefit from efficient resource use. 

How the City Uses Smart Mobility and Rainwater Collection 

One of Konza’s core design principles is smart mobility. This includes integrated public transport, walkable neighborhoods, and digital tools that help manage traffic and services more efficiently. These features aim to reduce congestion and make commuting safer and easier. 

Alongside transportation, the city is exploring sustainable ways to manage water. Rainwater collection systems are part of the urban plan, allowing public spaces and buildings to reuse water for cleaning, landscaping, and storage. Together, these tools reduce strain on central utilities and support sustainable daily life.
