Cairo tops Africa’s smartest cities: IMD report

The International Institute for Management Development (IMD), at the Swiss city of Lausanne, listed the Egyptian capital Cairo on top of its report ‘Smart Cities Index 2023’.

The evaluation relied on conditions of quality of life, health care, the stability of the security situation, ease of movement, environmental considerations, livability in each city, good sanitation services and the availability of lighting and clean drinking water.

The index included 141 capitals in the world, according to a survey of samples drawn by artificial intelligence for 14,000 city dwellers.
