Inside Gambia's First Smart City 

My concern with these estates is the loss of social cohesion that most of the developed world is facing presently... everyone behind close doors with not a care about your neighbours, not to mention the unaffordabilty for the majority of Gambians and lack of green spaces.Our enviable culture heritage should woven and preserved in these projects for future generations .....that is why Africa is unique. Please remember to preserve the habitats of the local wildlife...birds ,monkeys, lizards etc ... otherwise ,our people will one day have to travel to Europe to view them.

This Country is developing very fast and I will come to visit one insha allah from Somalia same as Gambia.

They need to replant trees throughout the housing community!

Rise Mama Africa rise ,it's your time to shine.

Wow Africans are moving forward. I love seen West Africa progress in the development.

Your content is inspirational. You are more than a content creator….you are a story teller , educator and documentarist. I’m so happy I stumbled into your channel. So proud of you. ❤. The estate is amazing….wow. Gambia rising. Watching from Nottinghamshire UK

I'm really happy that our beloved country is developing..great job bro

I don't like commenting, but this is the second time I'm commenting on your videos. I just want to say this: keep it up. Keep moving forward. Your contents are great and I feel deep down me that you have all it takes to be seen by the world. Sending love from the kingdom of Morocco.

Showcasing West Africa Real Estate sector to the world. Welldone African brother it's good to know you share the same passion with Tayo Aina, Wode Maya and Steven Ndukwu Keep up the good work 💪🇳🇬🌍🇬🇲🇬🇭 😊

The thing that I don't like about how they build in Africa is that you can live in a gated community and your house would also be behind a 10ft concrete wall with electric fence on top and plus security bars on all windows. It's like living in a prison complex with no trees and very little green space. Is Africa that dangerous to live because in America in the hood/ ghetto people don't live that way even rich areas don't have walls and electric fence up. Sounds like the government need to do better job of protecting the people.

Not sure if you have a LinkedIn but you should DEFINITELY create one! You can post insights on what you’ve learned and connect with people intellectually around the world. Your intellect is an asset ! And I’m pretty sure there are so many people around the world that share the same interests and ideas as you. I’ll be among the first to follow you as well!

Much Respect to you brother you channel is very useful Maa Shaa Allah keep up the good work Man may Allah accept your efforts it makes me very happy to see such developments at Home❤

I love to see positive news about Africa.

African developers don't forget to build more affordable flats for middle income earners ,this could make you reserve or conserve Lands ,also please dont forget parks , recreational areas,possible wood forest area where people can walk through and also most importantly RAIL LINE. Trian or trams are very important these days

Insha Allah I will live here some day with my family 😍🌍

you'll be the first millionnaire youtuber in The Gambia insha allah

The first thing you notice there are no trees anywhere next to any of the houses, African developers must be mindfull not to be in such a hurry to impress and sell also to follow bad practices of the West where when you have no natural foleage anywhere or flora as soon as you get Heavy Rain Fall the whole City will get flooded Quickly , it looks great yes but from the outside you have back gardens with no trees no natural shades from sunlight also Asthetically it makes the gardens look dead , the problem is when people don't use decernment or do not know true functional design you end up paying a heavy price , apart from those points the city looks well put together 😆👍

This is by far the best video I have watched about taf city , well explained, the editing is phenomenal, keep it up

That seems like a promising project. Including more trees around would be good too.

New subscriber here from Morocco. Thanks for all your videos, it's a great source of knowledge about the Gambia and its people.

The place is coming along very nicely and efficiently,no time wasting.

Gated communities prevent social cohesion and integration. I get it, it’s a security issue, but it would be nice to see open mix economic neighborhood developed in west africa. It’s very unfortunate how developments are being designed.

Very beautiful estate,Gambia is fast developing,God bless the Gambia for their hospitality and their peaceful nature💪💪

Africa is growing

Biggest estate ever in The Gambia, I always pass by but never knew that this is how big it is

I personally have my feelings around “smart” cities and the level of social controls+loss of freedoms that will arise with centralized tech and social credit systems that come along with such projects. It’s to be seen if The Gambia will follow down the same path as western and eastern countries building smart cities where it’s all about “the grid “ . As someone else said , the community that underlines African societies come into question in space where people become isolated and cut off from one another. Will they face the same social mental issues and breakdowns as in the west from disconnection and isolation? The image for the video showed colorful homes but in the video it’s mostly this bland white color with minimal color around a door or two. Where is the COLOR?!are we having to mimic the US or somewhere where color isn’t appreciated? Also…WHERE are the trees? Not a single one in that city. Not even palms! How can we talk about eco friendly and there aren’t any trees?! I do notice African cities that are planned seem to completely miss this step…trees are LIFE! But they’re never planted….

Taf is a great man He's leaving on my dreams ❤

That’s sow beautiful house in Gambia 🇬🇲 I love it everyone that is Gambia okay everything is good Gambia is beautiful okay 👍 ❤go to Gambia truest me

I enjoy your delivery of all your video, you're very informative, and so I think you'd make a great public speaker. Hopefully your channel will keep growing.

I agree with you. Gunjur is beautiful, and it is not far from Tanji fish market. I bought property 2 junctions down. I wanted more land and to grow food and raise animals. Gambia has something for everyone.

Please Remember to leave GREEN SPACES. I notice MOST developers build home's SO CLOSE to each other.

I love the way you edit the video

Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪

One build a city, Gambia Government cannot build Banjul what shameful government 😢

I really enjoy watching your RU-vid channel! You are a great videographer 👍💓

Great content top fan watching from Dubai

Great content

I love the whole thing ❤

Love the choice of what seems to be halal music brother, May Allah increase Gambia in success and peace for it's people, and all other Muslim countries.

Inshallah you will get yours there

Very nice 🎉🎉

It would be cool to hear more about the smart and eco features - why do they not have solar panels for instance ? How are they getting water ?

Is this guy a Gambian waw superb

love this❤

So exciting! I just wish you talked more about the “smart-city” title and what makes these homes more eco friendly than others already in gambia?

The place looks amazing, but why are there no trees in it. Their benefits are immense inside a city

Mozambique saw me born and its one of the constructions in the future

I love that there’s no music

What a content fam!

Fantastic work

Pls interview taf for us since you're in Nigeria, he is a Gambian who owned an estate in Nigeria

First here notification gang 💪🏾

I must say these are price friendly properties 😊

New subscriber from England's 🎉🎉

Love Gambia

Bro I like 👍 your speech

My bro Gano…keep moving bro

You are really doing great Masha Allah

wow looks great, what is the price ranges of houses there ? Thank you

Wow can’t lie bro the prices of the house are sooo pricey , seems like the outans are the ones able to afford this kind of houses

Am a Nigeria, I want a husband that owns a house in this estate to come to for my hand I marriage, honestly this is beautiful

Why are there no solar panels on the roofs of the houses in this eco-friendly city?

The smile cost of Africa, most clam country in the whole of Africa

I think building a shopping mall is important. The mall will bring people all over the city to the mall, and people will love to live around the area

In Shaa Allah once we are able to gather enough coins rk we shall be neighbors.😁 Content is always top notch though. You deserve an award. Keep doing what you do!

Bruh would u mind to put the currency both in dollars and dalasi cuz outsuders too wants to know

I won't lie that it is amazing and beautiful and I have no problem living there but I believe more in the urbanism of businesses combined with residences to improve the local economy. Such neighborhoods only give me the feeling of increasing wealth compared to poverty, which is also indicated by the fact that this is a closed neighborhood with a guard. (I am not judging, part of my family also lives in closed neighborhoods in suburbs in other countries).

You’re becoming my favorite RU-vidr you know I just love the content you dish out🤗 Allahuma Bārik

I hope the people in the city (Banjul) transfer to this place after finishing So the Banjul can completely transform into the most beautiful city ever

I hope there is a multi sports centre you can't just build houses not planning for sports in general

Gano has done it, as usual. Question: how does one go about purchasing or mortgaging one of these properties. Any resources or links?

when building these complex the buildings should be back to back, with a walk way between the backyard for pedestrians, at the end of the building in some areas these walk ways crosses underground. under the roads these are real safety features for kids walking to school..

Where does the electricity come from?

I was so excited until I saw the lack of trees in the yards and the streets 😢. Congratulations for the achievement of a "smart city" however trees are so important to the ecosystem. It's a shame that Western style developers don't get this.

Are we allowed to plant trees?

For us in the diaspora, could you also put the prices in $,€ and £ please. Not everybody is familiar with The Gambian currency. Thank you🙏🏼

peaceful country ❤ gambia from Nigeria

This look like the city in the resident evil series
