# The City of Johannesburg is renewing its smart city plans after setbacks due to fragmented initiatives, outdated ICT systems, and governance issues. In its 2025/26 draft Integrated Development Plan, the city outlined a fresh strategy focusing on digital infrastructure, service delivery, and economic growth. With 300-million-rand budgeted, key goals include 100-percent digitisation of services by 2026, expanded WiFi in underserved areas, smart meter rollouts, and improved data governance. The city aims to activate 30 smart initiatives in the current financial year.
