The analysis of #urbanisation processes in Africa by @Africapolis.org @SWAC_OECD is the best and most detailed that exists. I strongly invite all African #Planning Ministers to carefully read it before engaging in any #territorial development strategies

Cairo 🇪🇬 Lagos 🇳🇬 Johannesburg 🇿🇦 Kinshasa 🇨🇩 These names easily come to mind as the largest urban agglomerations in #Africa. But did you know that Onitsha 🇳🇬 is the 3⃣rd largest urban area in Africa? Check out ➡️🖱️ Africapolis.org for more on #urbanisation in Africa!

In this new piece @TheEconomist looks at why the emergence of #towns and small #cities is transforming Africa's urban landscape.

Only part of the definition, 5k people how, what area, density? In Africa more than half the countries dont have a purely numerical (population size) definition of what is a city.
Edward Paice@EdPaiceARI
@PHeinrigs Thresholds are the definition i.e. if an urban settlement is defined as being one with more than 5k people, then 5k is the threshold. Agreed that Africapolis sometimes below, sometimes above. But Kenya 2015 urban figure is plain ridiculous. 65% urban?!
English
Its not the tresholds. Its more an issue of how you define urban. Sometimes africapolis data below, and sometimes above UN…
Edward Paice@EdPaiceARI
@johnpmcdermott OK. Africapolis gives 28m as urban pop of Africa in 1950 and Kenya urban pop 2015 29m. But Africapolis urban thresholds way lower than any other body. Hence controversy/debate. WB, UN etc put c30% of 48m pop as urban. 2019 census has 15m urban.

Great to see our work on cities and urbanisation and africapolis being used by TheEconomist! @SWAC_OECD economist.com/middle-east-an…

Great piece, important topic! Our africapolis data is the only database that systematically includes these small cities - so that they will not be missed in analyses on African urbanisation!
John McDermott@johnpmcdermott
There's been lots of great stuff written about African megacities such as Lagos and Kinshasa But they miss something: the rise of small-town Africa My piece this week is about how the growth of second cities and towns is transforming the continent economist.com/middle-east-an…
