A Vision of Innovation, Sustainability, and Smart Living
Smart cities are reshaping urban landscapes worldwide, setting new standards in sustainability, efficiency, and integrated living. From Singapore’s advanced urban technology to Dubai’s AI-driven infrastructure, the global shift towards smarter urbanism is accelerating. Closer to home, South Africa’s most progressive smart city is already redefining the future—Century City.
This dynamic precinct is not only a model for sustainable urban development but also a hub for business, lifestyle, and innovation. Developed in part by Rabie Property Developers , the visionary team behind its transformation, Century City stands as a benchmark for modern urban planning. As it continues to evolve, the launch of Skywater marks the next chapter in this pioneering city’s journey.
The Rabie Vision: From Concept to Reality
Since the Century City project began in 2004, Rabie Property Developers conceptualized an ambitious new vision. Through strategic planning, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to New Urbanism principles, Rabie transformed the precinct into an integrated, future-ready city.
New Urbanism is built around walkability, mixed-use developments, and a seamless connection between work, life, and leisure. Century City embodies this philosophy, offering high-quality residential, commercial, and lifestyle spaces in a meticulously designed environment. With sustainable infrastructure, world-class security, and a thriving business ecosystem, it has become one of South Africa’s most desirable urban locations.
Century City as a Benchmark for Smart Cities
Century City’s smart city status is not aspirational—it is already a reality. The precinct operates with an interconnected approach to urban management, leveraging technology and sustainability across key focus areas:
- Strategic Location & Infrastructure: Positioned along the N1 highway, Century City offers seamless connectivity to Cape Town’s CBD, airport, and commercial hubs. With advanced infrastructure, including ThinkSpeed fibre, full power backup, and 24/7 security, it is an ideal location for modern urban living.
- Sustainability & Green Living: Intaka Island, the city’s green lung, showcases how conservation and urban development can co-exist. The transformation of Ratanga Junction into Ratanga Park has provided a 16-hectare recreational and green space, reinforcing the precinct’s eco-conscious approach.
- The 15-Minute City Concept: Century City aligns with global urban living trends, ensuring all essential amenities—including restaurants, fitness centres, retail hubs, and entertainment—are within a 15-minute walk or transit ride.
- Business & Economic Growth: The award-winning Century City Conference Centre is a leading destination for business tourism, while commercial hubs continue to attract multinational companies, boosting economic vibrancy.
- Security & Connectivity: A robust network of facial recognition cameras, AI-driven license plate tracking, and free public Wi-Fi hotspots ensures seamless digital access and a safe living environment.
With these innovations in place, Century City is more than a smart city—it is a future city, seamlessly connecting people, places, and possibilities. And now, the next phase of its evolution is unfolding with the launch of Skywater.
