We will sell the land along the SGR railway line in exchange for stocks in the technology companies that buy the land. Those stocks will be evenly distributed to every Tanzanian: Children, working age Adults and the Elderly.
We will then use the tech. stocks as collateral to get bank loans to buy fractional commercial real estate for Tanzanians. This creates a means for Tanzanians to get cash without having to sell their technology stocks.
Tanzania’s Universal Basic Income will be financed by rental revenue that was financed by tech. stocks. The TSh150,000/month or $65/month paid to every citizen is simply a minimum target to achieve SDG No. 1: No Poverty.
The No-Work-Permit Required policy in Africa City will facilitate the development of large technical agglomerations in various industries. Companies will be free to IMPORT & EMPLOY the best talent they can find at the most affordable price from anywhere in the world. No restrictions on the employment of foreigners.
In manufacturing, companies need large economies of scale in order to be able to manufacture products locally at a affordable prices for both domestic and global customers. Mpakani SEZ that borders Africa City will be a manufacturing zone, Tanzanian equivalent to China’s Shenzhen.
Africa City will be a Special Administrative Region similar to Hong Kong in China. The districts of Africa City will be owned and governed by some of the world’s largest technology companies. They will usher in an AI-Enhanced Governance Revolution & spearhead Tanzania’s Cyborg Workforce Revolution.
Past economic growth was accompanied by increased pressure on the climate through use of oil, coal and gas. As living standards improve, so do energy needs: the use of electricity, cars, heating of homes and more. The design of Africa City proactively tries to prevent economic growth from harming the environment.
The world’s leading universities are under attack in the United States. That presents an opportunity to reverse Tanzania’s and Africa’s historical brain drain into a brain gain by being the most friendly towards foreign students. Domestic students will get a high quality education financed by Income Share Agreements (ISAs).
A Pan-African Integrated High Speed Train Network is Flagship Project No. 1 on the African Unions Agenda 2063. African nations trade more with countries outside Africa than among themselves. Africa City will help finance the construction of the railway for its own use and maximize passenger density.
