It shows how the smart concept can be used to address problems that would be difficult and more expensive to solve using traditional techniques such as employment creation. This is done through elaboration of the African interpretation of smartness, using tools for smart solid waste management, e-governance, smart energy, and smart infrastructure. The case studies selected, and each chapter explain a different dimension of the smart city concept and offer innovative solutions to problems of rapid urbanization. It lays the theoretical foundation for further research on smart cities and rural areas in Africa"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781003221791 UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003221791 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
