Everything You Need to Know About Rwanda’s Vision City
Hello Displorers, welcome to another informative video presented to you by Displore and thanks for watching. In this video, we shall go into Rwanda and examine Rwanda’s vision city. African countries are in a race to turn their poor, overcrowded urban centres into "smart cities" just like Akon city’ ongoing in Senegal. Rwanda and Egypt have not been left out of the race for new cities within their respective nations. Both Egypt’s new capital city and Akon City are to be cashless cities to operate strictly on credit cards and crypto currency Akion respectively but has Rwanda’s Vision city got installed for the lucky few who will inhabit its peripheries.

Vision City Rwanda
Vision City is multi-phase housing development in Kigali, Rwanda currently being built by Ultimate Developers LTD for the Rwanda Social Security Board. At 4500 units and a total cost of $150 million it is the largest residential housing project in the country's history. The first 500 units were completed in 2017 but there is still a long way to go given the specifications and design of this city real estate project. The housing project sits on a hill overlooking the rest of Kigali with rows of whitewashed villas and townhouses to stand against the green landscape. According to the official plan of the city, there will be free WIFI in the town square, solar-powered street lamps, a 36-meter antenna, powered by the sun to beam 4G LTE to residents, and motion sensors that trigger the electricity when one walks into one of these homes. It will be a true dream utopia to live in Rwanda’s vision city when completed but then let’s look at a brief background of smart cities in Africa and a brief history of this revolutionary Rwandan jewel, ‘Vision City’.
Background on Smart Cities
The idea of smart cities has become even more popular in emerging economies. After the financial crisis in 2008, international property developers and technology companies have been looking develop Africa and Asia, faced with overpopulation, scarce resources, and poor infrastructure. In Africa, where as much as a quarter of the world’s population will live by 2050, more than half of them in cities, the idea is gaining even more traction.The concept of the smart city first emerged in the early to mid-2000s as governments sought to digitize and become more efficient. Now, the term connotes the use of big data and technology in urban planning. It’s bandied about by large technology companies like IBM and Cisco, city officials, and property developers. The global market for smart city services could reach as much as $225.5 billion in 10 years, from an estimated $93.5 billion currently.
If all goes to plan, the rest of Kigali and more of the country will look like the idyllic, tech-enabled district within the next two decades. Rwanda is on a campaign to transform its capital city of rolling hills and low-rise buildings into a so-called smart city where urban living has been optimized. Already, officials like to stress how much technology is part of daily life in Rwanda, from the president’s active Twitter presence to the fact that registering a marriage, death, or birth which would normally require multiple forms and trips to a government office are increasingly done online as well as speeding tickets can now be paid through mobile money.Twenty countries have joined a pact started by Rwanda called the “Smart Africa alliance,” to make technology a part of their national development plans. The African Union has also made smart city adoption one of the tenets of its 2063 development plan.
History of the Vision City
In 2011 Ultimate Develops became an entity and that same year announced Vision City to be their first project. The project, which is being financed by the Rwanda Social Security Board, RSSB, is designed to be built in 4 phases over 8 years and provide housing for 22,000 people. The project is located in Gaculiro, Kinyiya sector in Kigali's Gasabo District and is to cover a land area of 158 hectares. Before work
