Africa will have six cities with over 10m people by 2035

Due to a rapid rise in population growth, Africa will soon account for six cities with over 10 million people, that’s according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. It said that due to shifting demographics and the continent’s population boom, Angola’s capital, Luanda, and Tanzania’s commercial hub, Dar es Salaam, will join the metropolises of Cairo, Kinshasa, Lagos and Greater Johannesburg as mega cities. The report goes on to say that ‘this fast-paced urbanization, which will result in more than half of Africans living in towns and cities by 2035, is expected to create wealth, dynamism, and business opportunities.’
