Diamniadio Lake City, Senegal

Diamniadio Lake City (DLC) is the vibrant new heart of Diamniadio in Senegal. It's a city within the city and the capital's jewel in the crown given its national significance. As Dakar's rising main residential, business and leisure destination, it offers the highest quality services and recreational facilities.

Last year, in an attempt to revitalize Senegal's economy, the Senegalese government contracted Semer Group to design and construct Diamniadio Lake City (DLC). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The new city is expected to resolve the congestion in Dakar, which is less than 20 miles away and house an approximate 350,000 people.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DLC will have commercial, financial and residential land uses with a price tag of USD $2 billion.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With phase one already underway, construction is set to be completed in 2035. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Will the urban decentralization efforts in Senegal be a success or a bust?
Also, is @Akon working on another city in Senegal? 🤔
