Paragraph 2
Blueprints on the akoncity.com
show a cityscape of
-looking gleaming glass and steel high-rises. The
of the towering skyscrapers were inspired by
sculptures made in African villages. The city will boast high-tech living and high-speed Internet
. Akon wants the city to be a port of call for Senegalese and other Africans facing
injustice in the USA or Europe. He said: "The system back home treats people unfairly, in so many different
that you can never imagine. And they only go through it because they feel that there is no
way. So if you're coming from...the
and you feel that you want to visit Africa, we want Senegal to be your first
."
