The Moka Smart City is ENL’s flagship development — a bold and visionary transformation of the Moka region into one of the most liveable and sustainable urban centres in Mauritius.
Over the past decade, ENL has pioneered a process of ‘citysmarting’ — a progressive approach to city-making that optimises resources, enhances quality of life, strengthens community engagement, and generates lasting economic opportunity.
In a landmark achievement, Telfair — the city centre of Moka Smart City — has been awarded LEED for Neighbourhood Development (ND) Plan v4 certification by the US Green Building Council. It is the first project in Africa to earn this distinction, and one of only 49 projects worldwide to do so.
This internationally recognised certification confirms that Telfair has been planned and designed to meet the highest standards of sustainable urban development — integrating walkability, access to green mobility, protection of ecosystems, efficient resource use, and long-term liveability at the precinct scale.
To support this ambition, ENL appointed Prodesign as its sustainability partner. Acting as LEED consultants and sustainability engineers, Prodesign worked with ENL’s team to translate the LEED ND framework into local action — embedding sustainability into infrastructure, building design guidelines, stormwater strategies, and mobility planning.
This certification is more than a milestone — it is a statement that sustainable city-making is possible, here and now, and can be led from Mauritius.
