Kenya's flagship 'Silicon Savannah' city won't fully open until 2030, but its smart layer already runs: a Tier III data centre since 2021, 141 networked smart poles, and traffic sensors live across twelve sites.

The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

Kenya's flagship 'Silicon Savannah' rises 60km south of Nairobi under Vision 2030, and while most of the planned city is still under construction, its smart-infrastructure layer already runs: a Tier III National Data Centre completed in 2021, 141 networked smart poles carrying lighting, CCTV, environmental sensors, digital signage and Wi-Fi (installed from February 2023), and an Intelligent Transportation System live across twelve sites — all tied together on the technopolis's own fibre backbone. Full occupancy is not expected before 2030.
