Mamdev Ghana Limited, a construction company together with its foreign partners, has embarked on a project to transform Cape Coast into a $10billion green, smart and sustainable model city.
The project will transform Cape Coast, the first capital of Ghana, into a centre-piece of African history and in future present a model lifestyle and community development platform for Africa.
The project is officially dubbed the ‘Cape Coast Green City’ because Cape Coast is the nexus between tourism and educational development.
The initiative was birthed by Mamdev Ghana Limited, the lead consultant, in conjunction with Steady X and Haitech Technologies, an Information Technology firm, together with the chiefs and people of Cape Coast and championed by the Government of Ghana and persons in the diaspora.
At the launch of the project in Cape Coast last Saturday, the Chief Executive Officer of Mamdev, Mr Kojo Mamphey, said Mamdev Ghana Limited had secured agreements and Memorandum of Understanding with several stakeholders and partner companies with regard to the project and was in the process to further secure investment and partner involvement with the focus on delivery, adding that the project would begin after all paper work had been concluded.
Mr Mamphey said the project would be an anchor platform to enable partners and investors to fuse their capacities for a sustainable, diverse, integrated and strong development for the region.
Green technology
The city is to be powered by green technology with smart system grids to build material types ranging from local raw materials such as bamboo, timber and masonry stones.
The project, he said, would also include the re-construction and upgrading of major road networks to concrete, connecting to other cities and a well as laid-out internal network reducing vehicular usage.
