ZIMBABWE is now ready to adopt the smart cities concept that optimises city functions and promotes economic growth, while also improving the quality of life for citizens by using smart technologies and data, a leading investment firm has said.

Global Renaissance Investments, which is organising an international smart cities conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in February, noted that Zimbabwe should be part of the emerging smart cities industry that is expected to grow exponentially over the next couple of years.
