Lanseria Smart City
The Greater Lanseria Master Plan was an excellent opportunity for SMEC to influence the future of new smart city development in South Africa. Sustainable development guided all aspects of the master plan and resulted in a plan that encourages the adoption of new technologies, enabling waste-to-energy; recycling of water; generating electricity from biogas produced by wastewater treatment works; reducing solid waste and wastewater; and reducing the need to supplement water from outside the region’s catchment.
Shifting the paradigms of a Smart City
The GLMP project will not reflect an extravagant tech-heavy city, but instead, a true post-apartheid city in which innovative technologies are used to provide smarter, more sustainable solutions and services that will change the apartheid spatial architecture and provide social and economic opportunity for all South Africans.
The project is a key opportunity to move urban sustainability beyond existing paradigms of planning, engineering and urbanisation to increasingly appropriate levels of sustainability, innovation and inclusivity.
