Branding & Social Media Management for a smart city looking to redefine urban planning
2020
The Client
Lanseria Smart City is an area earmarked for radical residential and commercial development in Gauteng West Rand. Expected to be completed around 2030, the city is aiming to accommodate up to half a million residents, with newly integrated public transport systems connecting residential zones and industrial hubs.Touted as “the first new city to be built in a democratic South Africa” by President Cyril Ramaphosa, Lanseria Smart City looks to redefine urban planning. With the Greater Lanseria Master Plan published for public comment, South Africans have been afforded a glimpse into this city of the future.
The Challenge
Lanseria Smart City faced the complex challenge of introducing a bold, futuristic concept to a diverse audience while addressing public skepticism about its feasibility. Positioned as the first city to be built in a democratic South Africa, it needed to balance its visionary goals with practical concerns, such as integrated public transport systems, sustainable infrastructure, and accommodating half a million residents by 2030. Additionally, the project required clear communication to inspire confidence and support from both the public and private sectors during the early stages of planning and development.
What we did
We played a pivotal role in shaping Lanseria Smart City’s public presence by handling brand collateral development, social media management, and content creation.
