CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY
stakeholders to be active participants in the goal of Century City not only being a Smart City but transforming itself into a Future City. This entails stakeholders aligning the way they approach, activate, invest and action their unique positions within Century City. As a smart city, we look at managing Century City as a world-class precinct through the lenses of always aiming to improve the way we do things. We achieve this with the assistance of technology where possible, while always aiming for responsible environmental sustainability.
The concept of a Smart City would not be possible without broadband telecommunications. The connectivity that drives successful implementation of innovative solutions turns smart cities into vibrant socio-economic hubs that help businesses thrive. Central open access high-speed fibre network was installed more than a decade ago and in addition to serving as a broadband for residences and businesses, we also offer free Wi-Fi hotspots around the precinct for all visitors. Our Century City App puts everything you need to know right in the palm of your hand. From our latest news and blogs, details of all our events to traffic cameras and reporting an incident directly to our Service Operations Centre (SOC), our free app has you covered.
GROWING AND DEVELOPING RESPONSIBLY
Environmental sustainability is a key element for a Smart City to integrate fully. By using advanced technology and other innovative ways, we can shape a precinct that’s better equipped to address today’s urban challenges which have a negative impact on the environment. Through creating an environment where people can walk and cycle, carbon emissions are reduced. Energy efficiency, water efficiency and smart ways of managing waste are all part of the Century City daily way of life. Essential to environmental sustainability is Century City’s approach to water use and water preservation. Water-saving devices for irrigation of parks, medians and gardens is a top priority and automated and computerised irrigation is in place to ensure that efficient watering takes place in cooler times of the day and seasons.
Being a Smart City is not something we aspire to be. Being Smart is just something we do.

TAKING CARE OF OUR CITY
CREATING AND MAINTAINING A SAFE CITY
SMART COMMUNITY
Centrally managing a precinct such as Century City involves an intricate network between management of the four key elements, which are Urban Management Services, Traffic Management, Disaster Management and Incident Management. Our various teams ensure that all infrastructure maintenance is taken care of, as well as area cleaning, landscaping and general repairs and maintenance of the areas under our control. Urban Precinct Management is the foundation of any well- run precinct, and it also serves as the juncture where the other segments, namely Safety and Security, Environmental Sustainability, Communication, and Community, converge. With being so multi- faceted, it has an array of touchpoints and focus areas that must be managed and controlled efficiently to ensure a successful whole.
Incorporating technology in safety and security is paramount for running Century City effectively. Visibility and monitoring via connected HD cameras on street light poles, coupled with data analytics is used to scan license plates and car details for real- time tracking, assisting in rescues in emergency cases, alerting first responders and police, preventing crime and many more. Such connectivity also includes increased efficiency in the surveillance of buildings, roads and traffic flow. We’re constantly innovating and adding more features to our camera system and surveillance such as facial recognition cameras. Century City’s state of the art Service Operations Centre or SOC, is the hub of where all the relevant information comes together via our various technological touchpoints and human interaction, where we analyse that information and mobilise the necessary responses.
The concept of a Smart City highlights the community as an integral part of sustainable socio-economic urban development. A successful Smart City includes active participation of all its stakeholders to create a sense of ownership, commitment and central coordination to ensure integration across all the initiatives and participation of its community.
