Smart city planned for Ntshongweni, west of Durban: At least R3bn has been committed towards plans to developing the first phase of an integrated smart city in Ntshongweni, west of Durban, which is expected to come to life by the end of 2024.
This is according to Fundamentum Property Group CEO Carlos Correia, who was speaking during an oversight visit by Deputy President Paul Mashatile on Thursday.
“What we have come out with is an integrated development project. We are creating a new city in the outer west. The success of eThekwini in the north is well known. It was started about 25 years ago,” said Correia.The development would run for 15 to 20 years, amounting to more than R30bn.The intention is to build 20,000 housing units catering for a mixed range.
Westown Square, the shopping centre, would open by early 2025, while the hospital would open by the end of 2025. Correia said the Westown projects would rival that of Gauteng's Waterfall near Midrand and Stein City.
