From our Service Operations Centre (SOC), we are connected through various touch points to internal and external role players in managing our urban precinct. Pioneering Drone Integration for Smart Urban Management We have embarked on a groundbreaking journey in line with its smart city principles and goals, incorporating drones into its multifaceted approach to urban management. This innovative strategy signifies a paradigm shift towards embracing cutting-edge technology to revolutionise safety, security, and environmental sustainability within the city’s bounds. Our pioneering use of drones for safety, security, and environmental management heralds a new era in urban governance, one where innovation catalyses sustainable development and collective prosperity. As the city continues to chart new frontiers in technological advancement, it remains steadfast in cultivating a dynamic and resilient urban landscape, one drone flight at a time.

Let’s look at the key focus areas of Urban Precinct Management within Century City, and some of the smart practices we have implemented: Smart water management 1. CCPOA supplies treated effluent water that is utilised in all green buildings. This includes water for air-conditioning (HVAC), flushing of toilets and irrigation purposes. 2. A fully automated treated effluent and irrigation system, controlled by a telemetry system, services the entire precinct’s common area landscaping. 3. A network of canal recirculation pumps assists in maintaining the water quality of the 8.5km of canals across the precinct. 4. Water Quality Management Plan in place with Specialist River and Wetland Consultant advising with water quality monitoring in the canals, storm water detention pond and wetland system. 5. Our canals form part of the stormwater drainage system. This system, which runs beneath our city, is designed to collect rainwater that overflows onto the roads and other hard surfaces due to impenetrable pavements into strategically placed drains and culverts. All secondary stormwater pipes feed into the main stormwater pipeline which directs stormwater under Ysterplaat and discharges into the ocean. The stormwater detention pond situated on Skyliner Avenue functions as a stormwater attenuation facility to temporarily store the excess overflow from the main line of stormwater until it can slowly and gradually be released back into the stormwater system or natural underground water table. Its effect then aids to prevent flooding of the precinct. Rainwater replenishes and refills our canals, resulting in improved water quality and circulation, as well as higher water levels for our water sports, such as canoeing, dragon boating and kayaking.
Smart traffic and public movement management
1. Live traffic updates that are available on the website and our Century City App, updating every minute. 2. Pedestrian and vehicle wayfinding signage system in place. 3. Running and cycling routes are available across the precinct, which promotes the health and wellbeing of the community. It also forms part of our 15-minute smart city, which means that you can walk or cycle to any destination within the precinct by not using a fuel- driven vehicle. 4. Having access to fast and efficient transport through the MyCiTi bus network throughout Century City smartly alleviates parking problems, lessens carbon emissions, and gets you where you want to be, faster. 5. Century City has two Public Transport Interchanges (PTI) where Golden Arrow Bus Services, MyCiTi Busses, and the Taxi Associations converge. These PTI’s are managed and cleaned by the CCPOA. Free Wi Fi is available at the PTIs as well as at some MyCiTi stops, and security guards are deployed 24/7 at these interchanges. 6. E-Parking open parking areas provide alternative safe and secure parking for office workers and entry and egress is controlled by smart card.
