“DIGITAL + DATA SOVEREIGNTY CITY‑REGIONS”
Civic Data, Connectivity & Computational Infrastructure for KAMBUF City‑States and Diaspora Hubs

Strategic Purpose:
Today’s brief advances digital sovereignty as civic power. Data centers, fiber corridors, civic tech campuses, government clouds, AI & research institutes, and community connectivity anchors are designed as public infrastructure—not corporate enclaves. These systems secure education, health, transit, climate governance, land records, payments, and cultural memory for African and Diaspora The provided text is an excerpt from a planning document, the *KAMBUF Nation-Building Design Command Brief**, detailing a strategic design session focused on **Digital and Data Sovereignty City-Regions**. This session outlines a vision to establish digital infrastructure—such as data centers, fiber networks, and civic tech campuses—as public resources rather than corporate entities to secure essential services like health, education, and transit for African and Diaspora societies. A core component of the brief is the **Environmental Performance* focus, which mandates designing low-energy, water-wise, and regenerative digital systems in hot climates. The document features *ten distinct design schemes or "drills"* targeting various contexts, including Nairobi's Civic Cloud, Accra's Tech Commons, and a Hurricane-Resilient Island Data Vault, each with specific challenges and required deliverables. Ultimately, the brief mandates that participants design the *"digital commons—cool, resilient, public, sovereign,"* emphasizing the overarching goal of maintaining national control over crucial data.
