It discusses a robust set of concepts, including smart planning, smart infrastructure development, smart economic development, smart environmental sustainability, smart social development, resilience, and smart peace and security in several African cities. 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. 410 0$aAdvances in 21st Century Human Settlements,$x2198-2546 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aEconomic development?Environmental aspects 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aDevelopment and Sustainability$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/913110 606 $aMathematical and Computational Engineering$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T11006 606 $aUrban Economics$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W49010 606 $aPhysical Geography$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J16000 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aEconomic development?Environmental aspects. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 14$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aDevelopment and Sustainability. 615 24$aMathematical and Computational Engineering. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 676 $a710 702 $aMboup$b Gora$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aOyelaran-Oyeyinka$b Banji$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350337103321 996 $aSmart Economy in Smart African Cities$91984950 997 $aUNINA
