PHOTOS: Plans for Lanseria Smart City revealed
Have you seen the Lanseria Smart City?
Plans for the Lanseria Smart City – first known as Cradle City – started in 2007. The idea is to create South Africa’s first city built around an airport.
However, since 2007, not much was said about the project until President Cyril Ramaphosa mentioned it in his 2020 State of the Nation address and Premier David Makhura’s Gauteng State of the Province address.
