Hello Steemians,
I'm pleased to announce that I will be building Bania D-City from scratch on 200 hectares of land in Nigeria. Bania D-City will be a decentralized smart city built with and administered with two emerging world technologies: the Graphene blockchain and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT).
We will use the graphene blockchain to create a decentralized city app and an official cryptocurrency that will serve as the native currency of D-City. This currency will be used by all residents, businesses and visitors when transacting in D-City. Land purchases, leasing and every day transactions will all take place using these tokens.
D-City will also utilize the groundbreaking sustainable timber technology, Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) as the primary construction material for the city's residential and commerical buildings. D-City will be a decentralized smart city, as well as a creative wooden city.
Disclaimer
This proposed project is an idea of a 19 year old steemian with no professional experience in related fields. It's an extremely big project that requires a big load of work and a big amount of money to achieve as it took a large mind to conceive. There are many reasons this project might not become a reality and it's safe to say it's a big risk to attempt this but same time, this is the type of risk I prefer to die taking than continue living with this idea in my head without a trial
Why a Decentralized Smart & Wooden City?
I envision a future where blockchain technology isn't just something used in smart contracts and speculation, but something we use in our everyday lives.
I envision a future where sustainable wood technology like CLT completely replaces conventional building materials because of its clear advantages over both steel and concrete.
I want to build the city I've always dreamed of living in and help shape a better future for the next generation.
The Type of City I Want to Build (Goals and Vision)
I want to build Bania D-City as a human friendly, technology driven and Smart living environment. My goal is to build a city that will attract technology enthusiasts, adventurous tourists, and be a hub for the next generation of blockchain businesses and small business startups.
I want to build a city that will favor cultural flourishment and empower a growing population of smart people with the opportunity to work from home, and rely on their two feet to walk to necessary places within the city so they don’t have to get hooked up in hours of traffic thereby sabotaging their own health.
Build a lovable and livable city that will receive national recognition and become a road-map for future decentralized smart cities.
Build and make Bania D-City a practical guide/example of how emerging world technologies such as blockchain and CLT could unfold and become applicable to daily human living in order to transform our lives.
Redefine smart city - though we are going to be building a smart city, but our smart city isn’t going to be underpinned by advance data technology only but will be based on human development and good lifestyle.
D-City will be built to ensure environmental sustainability, fix social inequality and empower residents with needed resources to build a life they can be proud of.
Build a city that will be self-sufficient in food & energy. So residents don’t have to spend a big part of their budget buying expensive foodstuffs far away when they could actually be grown in the neighborhood.
The overall goal is to build a decentralized smart city that’s 60% human centric - 30% technology driven and 10% automobile centric
How it Will Play Out
We will acquire 200 hectares of land in an infill area of a rural settlement close to a urban environment in my country Nigeria where land are relatively cheap and we can build whatever we want.
The advantages of using an infill area are that: we wouldn’t be contributing to urban sprawl, we can utilize the existing location, infrastructure and there is already a population based close to us that will make it easy for a city to get started.

Technological Requirements and City Features
1. D-City App: we will build a decentralized city application on the blockchain that will serve a lot of purpose among which are:
- A platform for city residents to interact with each other, their leadership and widely share information
- A platform for tourists to register, plan and schedule their trip to the city.
- A open platform for residents to get fully engaged with the development of the city and propose projects that will be considered and acted upon based on upvotes of other residents, which will encourage resident participation in the governance of the city.
2. Free High Speed Wifi: we are building a smart city where everything will be internet connected, inclusive of daily micro and major transactions that will be occurring every minute in the city across the blockchain.
This will require fast internet access so we will offer free, unrestricted, high-speed Wi-Fi, fast enough to do your normal internet surfing like streaming video and uploading files to the internet. There will be a free hotspot almost everywhere you need one. This will make everyone live easier and smarter. This will entice individuals and businesses that need fast internet access to relocate to Bania D-City.
3. Smart Phones distributed to all residents: depending on what the city budget would permit, but I would love all residents to be smart without any excuse for being sluggish in a smart city. So this could be part of the packages that would be distributed to all residents and maybe tourists can lease one free during their stay. The smartphones could come pre-loaded with necessary applications such as D-City app, sensor tracking and data collections apps and more.
4. Build on the blockchain Decentralized applications that could use wireless sensor network in monitoring physical and environmental conditions. We would experiment with an open source, end to end software solution for collecting, displaying, and sharing health and environmental data using a smartphone.
5. Solar Powered City: we will use solar energy and other renewable energy sources to remotely power D-City without the requirement of tapping into mains electricity grid. 10% of the energy requirements of D-City would be met by solar energy and about 80% buildings will be made energy-efficient and green. Hundreds of buildings in D-City will have solar panels and we will put sensors to all the solar panels to track the energy that’s collected. So we can know immediately when a panel has stopped working because it won’t be collecting energy.
Land Use and Zoning
The 200 hectares of land when acquired will be zoned for mixed use following the five categories of Land Zoning System and each zone will have low, medium and high density area.
- Residential: Places where people will live (I.e., housing unit, apartments, townhouses, etc... )
- Commercial: places where people can buy things (I.e., stores, restaurants, supermarket, hotels, malls, gas station, e.t.c.)
- Industrial: places where people will work (I.e. Companies, factories, start-up hubs, offices, e.t.c.)
- Community Area: places where community activities will take place or community resources are stored (I.e. City conference hall, schools, libraries, parks, churches, temple, fire station, sewage treatment plants, public work garage e.t.c.)
- Vacant Spaces: Green Places with nothing on them at all, (I.e. natural places, reserved areas, etc...)
D-City Architecture and Infrastructures
Roads and Streets: there will be variety of wide and narrow roads, but majorly the road in the central part of the city will be narrower and there will be a lot of it because we are designing a city that’s focused on being human and padenstrial friendly environment. We are trying to make walking a priority in our city to create a healthy environment.
Public Places: Parks, plaza, recreational areas and other public places will be integrated throughout the city to keep it lively.
Wooden skyscraper: we would invest in building CLT powered skyscrapers and if possible see if we could get a spot for the tallest wooden skyscraper in the world (that will be nice for a wooden city).
Already the world has seen a wooden skyscraper as high 20 story and there is an architects ready to build a 40 story timber tower in Stockholm Sweden. And Micheal Green a Vancouver architect already building a 30 story in his city.
The most amazing is 80-story Oakwood Tower, which when completed, it would be not only be one of London’s tallest skyscrapers, but the world’s tallest wooden skyscraper at 984 feet (we might not be able to beat this).
And the interior of wooden Skyscrapers?
Residential Buildings: we will work with Planners, architects, and builders around the world to create at least 50% of D-City residential buildings using unconventional architectural design for housing type ranging from apartments, detached houses, town houses and low-rise social housing, secondary suites, garden suites, duplexes, semi-detached and other residential and mixed-use buildings. The remaining 50% of lots could be sold out as founders lots for to private developers and buyers that want to choose a pre-approved architect to design their own custom houses.
Flexibility Plan For Building Bania D-City
We will be working with a flexibility city building plan which will require us to build D-City in 4 phases and each phase to be completed in 1 quarter of the year. So if there's adequate funding and things work according to plan, the whole city could be completed in one year.
I am aware that new cities can't be fully planned before being built, either from a technology standpoint, or a socioeconomic one. So I'm thinking we could dedicate the first building phase to building "Steemit Village" as a district of D-City.
If it's going to work this way, then what I want is that, Steemit Village is first built as a prototype of Bania D-City before we do ICO and give opportunity for everyone to participate in the fund raising rounds
I really want to take this route because I conceived this idea when I joined steemit and after being motivated by many amazing projects I keep coming across on this platform. Additionally, I'm a big believer in Steemit and steem blockcain and I know this community deserves all the recognition possible.
To raise funds for building this prototype I propose an idea below in the "Raising Fund" chapter.
Estimated Cost of Building Bania D-City
This whole write up is a basic footprint drawn out of my personal knowledge and research (and as I mentioned at the beginning of this paper, I have very little experience in related fields).
I will need to work with a team of urban architects and city planners to gather more concrete data to give a reliable estimate cost.
However, I did little findings and discussed with different real estate companies across Nigeria and from that, I was able to gathered that I could get 200 hectares of land in an urban area of the country for a price ranging from ₦1. 7B to ₦3B which is calculated to be around $4.7M to $8.3M
We wouldn’t be building D-City at the center of an urban area, but we wouldn’t build it far from one either. So it's a bit safe to assume 200 hectares of land would not actually cost around our researched price if we are buying the land and building in a rural area but close to an urban environment.
Building Team
This is really a big project that requires a team of professionals in 4 different fields which are: city planning and Urban architecture, blockchain and cryptocurrency, Cloud computing and Data technology and lastly Cross Laminated Timber.
One of the major reasons I choose steemit as the first platform to publish my idea is because I believe I can reach the right people, connects and partner with them and also get mentorship quite easily here.
Already I have a team of 3 intelligent people that share same vision as me and it would be nice of the steemit community if I could see more people that can think in line with me and share their professional experience with me.
I'm a firm believer in the saying: "team work makes the dream work" so it's an open offer.
Raising Funds
I'm scared this might be the most challenging part of this project, but i believe we can reach this goal if enough support arise at the grass root.
I'm thinking of opening a door of private investment for the building of the prototype (Steemit Village) where all private investors get a User Issued Asset or token that will pegged to the future ICO valuation of D-City similar to a convertible debt used in traditional fundraising.
So this token will be converted to ownership of D-City token/coin during ICO at a conversion preference and interest percentage agreed upon.
Basically, we could set conversion preference to a percentage say 10% and interest rate at 10% as well.
So for instance if you purchase our user issued token worth of $50k, we get the money and put it to work by first acquiring a portion of land that we will build Steemit Village on and then we begin work on building the basic infrastructures. When that's completed, we do ICO and price our coin with a real valuation.
You can then convert the User Issued Token to a worth of $50k of our ICO coin with both conversion preference and interest rate of 20%, your ICO coin investment will be worth $60k.
Of course, this is no exception just as everything written here are my personal thoughts with no professional insight yet and shouldn't be treated as the master plan or whitepaper of Bania Dcity, because everything here will be modified as we do more research, get more ideas and shape our plans.
Conclusion
Nothing in this world was possible until the first successful attempt. Satoshi Nakamoto only hoped bitcoin grows and become what he dreamt but he never had 100% assurance that bitcoin will become what it is today.
This is one of the reasons I am publishing my idea to the blockchain because if eventually this works (which i pretty much believes will), I will be glad to come back here to see this first pen down thought leading to it manifestation.
I seek all steemians support by way of advice, criticism, suggestions, ideas, collaboration, donation, motivation and those not mentioned here.
I will be glad if more people see this and believe in my vision, so would you please Resteem, and most importantly Upvote this post as a way to support this vision financially.
And Remember to follow my steemit blog @bania because i will continue updating this platform till the day Bania D-City opening ceremony will take place.

Hey @bania. I confess I'm blown away. As I read this so many questions went through my mind and many were subsequently addressed by your post.
I'm not sure what Nigerian immigration law is like but one longer term prospect is to ultimately live and work here, something appealing for those around the world. I'd hope our two horses would find a home!
Raises interesting questions about animals. Livestock and productive animals would benefit a city's sustainability.
How about utilities? Power sewerage etc? This could be the kind of project I've been looking for and am keen to learn more about the fund raising, equity and ICO etc.
Great initiate and I've only scratched the surface with this reply. Please keep us up to date!
Thanks so much @nolnocluap for this wonderful contribution.
Yeah, my vision for this project is to actually make Nigeria a lovely place to visit and live in by foreigners and through that change the misconception the mainstream media has planted into the minds of people about my dear country. Nigeria immigration law is one of the most favorable in the world I think.
Once we are ready to draw our city master plan, we will prioritize and reserve green space for the grazing of animals and livestocks as much as we want to prioritize food production and energy generation.
As noted in this paper, this is not the master plan or whitepaper yet, but just a publication of my first thesis, so in the master plan or whitepaper, we hope to share the full plan on in this regard, but sure as a private developer we will be responsible for the building and construction of the major infrastructures of D-City.
I promise to keep updating the steemit community as we unfold our plans and set for the fundraising.
Thanks

Hello @greenrun
Bania did not think Outside the box.
He thought as if there was no Box.
@ogochukwu
The project is very much doable. It is a sustainable project that could be done.
Lol, maybe I thought beside the box, just to find out there's no box
Hi @bania this is an awesome project
I can imagine us living a reality of this awesome blockchain project. Its going to be a revolution in our country.
God bless the intelligent brain behind this.
@phunke
Yeah dear, Nigeria might end up benefiting more from this project than me :)
Might you say?? Will it is.
This is going to be a transformation and a ready made blockchain experience for generations to come.
I am proud of you and proud to be a nigerian
Well done.
Cool concept!
Nice output broff. Nothing is impossible. Start firm, people will support you because we all want to be identified with success.

Bania loved to see that post it's really something new for me to get deep inside into the crypto currency world
I'm glad you saw this and decide to use it to get deep with cryptocurrency
Congrats dude - you've put a ton of work into this and would be great to see it pay off!
Your contributions to this project is immense boss and I shared from your enthusiasm
Thanks for being a friendly mentor
Graphene and Cross-Laminated Timber! You've outdone yourself good sir. This deserves a techblogger special report. Lets get the word out and build the prototype asap!
Thanks boss, anything that announces this project to the world is my joy, i will reach you on discord
That's a great vision @bania. I support your idea and the level of research you have done on CLT.
Thanks @chandu91
Great vision Bania! Bulleth let me get a sneak peak at this proposal in development stages and I was shocked and amazed how beautiful it looked. Change the world indeed! Upvoted my friend.
Thanks so much boss
I got more ideas and more mature mind when I begin relating with you guys. Hope to learn more
Thats crazy i envisioned the future to look something like that.
Yeah, we can build the future we want
Hell ya we the future really
Wow this is so amazing! You do believe in yourself like everybody should! Don't let your dreams stay dreams, that would mean you don't really believe in them.
But nothing is impossible. Go out and tell it to the world! You did - great job.
This is inspiring @cryptoleen
Thanks so much for those encouraging and inspiring words, i will keep them with me forever
Great article, amazing rendering and we'll laid out research and information provided. Can't argue that is not an amazing idea and while I would love to see something like this happen and hopefully be a catalyst for many more like it to come, without some big-time whale support as well as the support of every future community member to be apart of making this a reality, it will only ever be just an amazing idea. I could love to be 1000%wrong but unfortunately these things tend to not make it very far.
An exceptional in-depth whitepaper dirctly from the heart and mind of a 19 year old.
More power to you!
Thanks @bobbybillionz
I think Nigeria will be a big force for steemit in the future, this project is entirely possible from what I have seen so far.
I envision that too
Thanks @bleepcoin
I support you for that statement alone! :)
The project sounds like something that can really change the world for many people. Looking forward to this playing out.
Lol, Just trying to be honest boss, and thanks for your support thus far
so proud of you bro! i know @tj4real @mcsamm @xpency @kwakumax @richforever and @samset will want to see this!
wow and good use of minnowbooster!
how did you raise your minnowbooster daily limit so you could be getting such AMAZING ROI you spend like $80 and you get $165 minnowbooster payout PLUS the extra money you get from getting your posts up to trending!
Thanks boss @ackza
I didn't know that I forgot to inbox you the link to this post when i published it.
Minnowbooster has a new service they called "Whitelist", which they add verified quality content writers to in order to raise their limit and give them promotion to get to trending and hot.
I will inbox you on discord straight away
@bania when I say age is just a number, I meant it. For one to think of you as 19 is an underestimation of what you truly worth. And do you know your worth? You're worth more than human can value.
I don't have enough knowledge about this stuff to contribute if not I would have written a whole book for you.
Remember that no one would believe aeroplane would fly before the Wright brothers flew one. No one would have believed you will call someone in London from Nigeria without magic some centuries ago. No one would have believed that there will be something called the internet but here we have it today.
So many may not believe in you but you don't need them. Keep hope alive. I don't believe in the word "impossible." you can do it, just believe in you. Bania's D-city is one project I wish to soon see as reality.
@mr-aaron
Thanks so much @mr-aaron
The honest truth is that, people like you are rare to meet. From the first time you dropped your first comment on my post, I have respected your motivational energy that you are always transferred to others.
I appreciate the time you took to write this comment to encourage and inspire me.
Thanks a lot
You're welcome bro.
I guess it takes less energy to be genuine and much more to fake things. You are limitless!
This is really a nice start dear! please stand firm and do not let anything discourage you...Yes circumstances will try to slow you down but just keep moving no matter how slow. You are just so amazing. Congrats already.
Thanks @prettycynthia
I will not take your words for granted and I will work hard until I become the definition of boldness + big dreams.
I believe dear! May the Lord be your strength.
i still dont know were to start from, first of all @bania you have done awesomely well. Your words are on point and i must say, brother am rightly in support of this. The word impossible is just a mere terms. I believe everything can be achieved if we put on a possible mindset like as i said earlier, am still glancing through this post and it has won my heart 100%. Our Government is bad now is the time to decentralise ourselves from them. Bania D city must stand, crypto city must stand and we must stand. The passion is already on, the dream must be achieved. thanks for this.
Thanks for your rugged belief in my vision and project bro, people like you inspire me to believe more in myself. Yes, we can do this and we will do this
Hello @BANIA, You are truly a visionary with a wide vantage of hope that welcomes limitless possibilities for this generation and many to come.
It's an honor to accidentally run across your Posting today! Cheers
P.S. Very soon many shall be calling you Boss....and I believe in the most endearing, loyal and faithful of ways. "Your" Dream will become "Our" Dream. Keep Steeming the Dreaming.
I've Up-Voted for Inspiration, Big Thinking, Encouragement, and Utter Dopeness....will continue to Follow you young Sir.
Thanks so much for your words of encouragement and inspiration.
Checked out your blog, but you've no post yet, I'm following you already
The project is big, but while dreaming why dream small? Ideas are everything, what you think you become. I'm particularly fascinated with the city plan to use renewable energy, and as a renewable/green energy fan I think it's a worthwhile project. WiFi hot-spot could help reduce the present hardship experienced on data currently in Nigeria.
Great project which I'm happy to see executed. I always tell people that cared to listen that steemit is much more than steem and SBD!
KEEP HOPE ALIVE. KEEP STEEMING.
Yeah boss
Steem is a lot of things in different things, we need an open mind to see beyond SBD and STEEM.
Thanks for your support and contribution boss
If you need an amateur opinion on solar projects, do not hesitate to chat me up. I'm a green energy freak :)

This is some balls bro! Trust I am particularly positive about this massive project of yours. I am already seeing it become a reality. Can't believe someone this young can conceive such an amazing mind as this. I pray thee more grace bro. Post resteemed.
Thanks for those nice words bro
Grace fall on u bro
Hello @bania
Going through the thesis of this post, initially I thought it would be impossible to achieve this feat but you have proven that it is highly possible not only to achieve this but to surpass the set limit, if any, through providing logical arguement backed by facts and data.
This is huge, of course, but there is no limit to what a determined mind can achieve!
I have also learned something I hitherto don't know. The fact that woods can be used to construct multi story building has been unknown to me until now. Indeed, there is no other platform as much educative as steemit.
This is also my first time of visiting your page, thanks to @ogochukwu of @bluewave project who told not to miss reading this masterpiece.
I wish you success on this project.
God bless you

Welcome and thanks
I love this bold idea of a Steemit village or city, and I don't want to discourage you, but I'm not sure if your country is the best place to realize such a magnificent dream. Here are some questions and comments:
(1) Climate: Most of Nigeria experiences monsoon rains (light blue area).
Nigeria map of Köppen climate classification, CC—BY-SA Ali Zifan
The tall wooden buildings you used as examples are located in much drier areas, such as Stockholm and London, where constant heat and high humidity are less of a problem. Wood is an organic material that is susceptible to infestation by other living things, such as mold and insects. True, wood can be pretreated, but such chemicals create health and environmental problems.
*(2) Energy Consumption and Storage: Wifi is currently very fashionable, but it has been linked to health problems that are underreported in the mass media (vested interests). Ethernet seems like a less energy-intensive and safer way to go. Being close to the equator, Nigeria has plenty of sunlight, but what about when there is no sunlight (at night or when it rains)? Battery manufacturing, storage capacity and environmentally-friendly disposal pose serious problems. What are your suggestions?

(3) Political Problems: Based on my limited knowledge of recent Nigerian history (the sad story of Biafra [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biafra] and the even sadder story of Boko Haram [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boko_Haram]), Northern Nigeria is a very improbable place for a Steemit village. Thus, the small Igbo area is most likely to accept such a bold new idea. Is this where you hope to build your village?
nice post
amazing view
Wow!!!
Wow this is elaborate. You have a very intelligent and brilliant mind. So proud to see my fellow Nigerian making waves. Well done.
Welcome and thank you @yomibolo
Not only a beautiful project but a useful one too.
This is an absolutely amazing concept you have here my brother!
As someone who has been in the Home Building trade for 15 years and also in the Crypto-Currency world for around 6 years, I would LOVE to be a part of this!
I was planning a backpacking tour this summer of 2018 but I will totally throw that away to have the opertunety to work with you on this project Even as a volunteer.
Wow, I'm glad to hear this sir @spreadthetruth. Could you contact me privately over discord so we could discuss how we will work together?
If you are yet to join discord, use this invite link to get on board https://discord.gg/nsw2VSb
i appreciate your imaginations.every picture of D-city is representing your hard work.To build such a wonderful city you need a good team of builders. You had made a good planning for the D -city.i hope that many people are interested in your plan.
I hope so too
Thanks for your nice words @ansari222
