By drawing on the accumulated knowledge on various conditions that make cities smart, green, livable and healthy, it helps in the planning, design and management of African urbanization. In turn, it fosters the development of e-commerce, e-education, e-governance, etc. The rapid development of ICT infrastructures facilitates the creation of smart economies in digitally served cities and towns through smart urban planning, smart infrastructures, smart land tenure and smart urban policies. In the long term, this can reduce emissions of CO2, promote the creation of low carbon cities, reduce land degradation and promote biodiversity.Advances in 21st Century Human Settlements,2198-2546Regional planningEconomic development—Environmental aspectsEngineering mathematicsUrban economicsPhysical geographyLandscape/Regional and Urban Planninghttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J15000Development and Sustainabilityhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/913110Mathematical and Computational Engineeringhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T11006Urban Economicshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W49010Physical Geographyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J16000Regional planning.Economic development—Environmental aspects.Engineering mathematics.Urban economics.Physical geography.Landscape/Regional and Urban Planning.Development and Sustainability.Mathematical and Computational Engineering.Urban Economics.Physical Geography.710Mboup Goraedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtOyelaran-Oyeyinka Banjiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910350337103321Smart Economy in Smart African Cities1984950UNINA
