HOW MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENTS ARE CHANGING THE FUTURE OF AFRICAN CITIES

This article explores how combining residential, commercial, and leisure spaces is transforming urban planning across Africa:

• Efficient Land Use – With limited urban space, mixed-use developments maximize land value and create vibrant city centers.
• Live-Work-Play Concept – Cities are shifting towards integrated developments where people can live, work, and socialize in the same area.
• Traffic Reduction & Sustainability – By reducing the need for long commutes, these projects help cut congestion and lower carbon footprints.
• Increased Property Value – Mixed-use projects attract high-value tenants, boost rental yields, and encourage foreign investment.
• Smart City Trends – Developers are integrating IoT, green technology, and AI-powered urban planning to create future-ready communities.
