Konza Technopolis has been confirmed as an official participant in the global 7 Wonders of Future Cities initiative. This is a programme spotlighting emerging urban developments shaping how people will live, work, and interact in the future.
The initiative is run by New7Wonders, the organisation behind global public engagement campaigns such as the New 7 Wonders of the World. The Future Cities programme focuses on planned and emerging cities that demonstrate long-term approaches to urban planning, sustainability, innovation and economic growth.

With its inclusion, Konza is now listed among selected developments from around the world on the 7 Wonders of Future Cities platform, placing Kenya’s Vision 2030 smart city alongside other globally recognised urban projects.
According to the organisers, the programme is not about competition or ranking. Instead, it aims to promote awareness, dialogue, and global engagement around how future cities can balance economic growth, environmental sustainability, and quality of life.
“We welcome Konza Technopolis as the first official participant in the 7 Wonders of Future Cities from Kenya,” said New7Wonders President Jean-Paul de la Fuente, describing Konza as “a worthy representative of dynamic change from one of the most exciting socio-economies in Africa and the world.”
Konza Technopolis CEO John Paul Okwiri said the participation offers a platform to share Kenya’s smart city journey with a global audience.
“This recognition aligns with our ongoing efforts to position Konza Technopolis as a hub for innovation, research, and digital enterprise within the region.”
Through digital platforms and public campaigns, the 7 Wonders of Future Cities initiative aims to engage policymakers, planners, investors and citizens in shaping future urban models.
