Smart Labs and Innovative Learning Initiatives: A Case of the Innovation Hub at UZ and Education 5.0
Abstract
This chapter seeks to explore an alternative approach that harmonises the concepts of smart cities, human capability upliftment, and sustainable development, using the case study of the Innovation Hub at the University of Zimbabwe and the Education 5.0 model as a lens. The concept of smart cities built around the ideals of sustainable, liveable and human-empowering city spaces is gaining global currency. From a rationalistic theoretical perspective of city mapping and geospatial allocation of urban spatiality for sustainable socio-economic development, it is envisioned that the construction of sustainable cities and innovative technological hubs would transform national economic grids and empower its citizens through smart solutions built on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT's) leading to smart transport systems, smart e-commerce and smart entrepreunship initiatives. Although this perspective is promising and utopian in its character and conceptual construction, it hardly leads to empowered cities and equitable city spaces offering spatial justice.
