In case you missed the announcement, a groundbreaking initiative is taking shape in Bulawayo – the Zimbabwe International Conference and Exhibition Smart City (ZICES). This visionary project is not merely a showcase of architectural marvels, but a symphony of sustainability, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Let’s dive into the captivating components of this smart city masterpiece and see how they connect to the relevant SDGs.
Convention Centre: The Capacity for Change Imagine a state-of-the-art convention centre that can accommodate up to 5,000 delegates – now that’s a real exhibition of ambition! This goal aligns seamlessly with SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). It’s a hub for sustainable development, where ideas can flourish and progress can be made.
Hotels & Accommodation: Comfort with a Conscience The new 500-room hotel, strategically linked to the convention centre, not only caters to the needs of visitors but also upholds the principles of SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). It’s a place where comfort and sustainability go hand in hand.
Theme Park: Exploring the Essence of Zimbabwe Imagine a theme park that celebrates the diverse heritage and landmarks of Zimbabwe – a true exhibition of the nation’s history and natural beauty. This captivating attraction aligns with SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 15 (Life on Land). It’s an opportunity to engage with the country’s rich tapestry, fostering a deeper appreciation for its cultural treasures.
Ecofriendly Parks: Greening the Urban Landscape The new eco-friendly parks and pedestrianized walkways within the smart city vision align with SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land). These green oases are more than just aesthetically pleasing – they promote sustainable urban development and environmental conservation, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between nature and progress.
