If there was no , or at least little corruption amongst leaders, before the Europeans came, when will Africa find its roots again? Will Akons city help? I had a friend of African heritage try to do something similar to this in 2004 or so and he could not get past the politicians with their hands out... It was not in Senegal though....

[@rumrunner8260]

My brother was airplane mechanic in Dakar, he lived there for 4 years! The biggest problem in Africa is the governments way over taxing businesses making it impossible to grow the business some how Akon is getting around that and growing his power companies. There is a great video with a women who owns a lip gloss business and talks about it (not Akon but taxes) and also talks about how Tom's shoes but African shoe makers out of business. Hopefully they don't have to displace people like with the airport where they showed up with guns and told people to move. My brother went thru the transitions of airports and was told a lot of bad stories about it. Also when they built the African Renaissance Monument instead of training and employing Senegalese they hired North Koreans to build it. Hopefully Akon does the country right! Senegal is full of amazing people and they deserve it! Most were very kind to my bro who was one the very few westerns there.

HOWEVER that's when the project is done by teams of architects and engineers with relationships with great local contractors who have created good quality design that is easy to construct. All projects that look like this such as Zaha Hadid's work in the middle east, china, Japan have gone way over budget sometimes 5 to 8 times over budget and that is just for one building. In a region where conventional modern buildings is relatively challenging to construct with the local work force, how can you expect a radical design like the one proposed here can be delivered on time and on budget when it's clearly impossible in countries that have far more experience in building innovative designs?

I admire this attempt but 6 billion dollars isn't gonna build a city like this. Apple built a OFFICE for 5 billion. I have a feeling they may end up tripling or quadrupling their initial budget as time goes on.

[@rayyanali9757]

U forget that the office was huge, and had many futuristic innovation s that may have cost a lot, though yes most likely it will probs double

[@smiley6179]

That’s Africa 1 million like 5 million over there

[@zionstone6473]

6 billion is like 3 trillion in africa, not to mention he probably made deals with other countries in africa to invest in the city. He also has a solar panel company which is still growing.

I admire his perception of building the mega city. I hope to see it completed.

[@oggyreidmore]

A $6 billion city meant to have a 300,000 population means that it only costs $20,000 per person to build this place. That seems suspiciously cheap, even when you account for incredibly cheap labor. I'd wager that it ends up costing at least twice - maybe three times as much by the end. Not that it can't be done, but I don't think it will be that cheap.
