The Beauty Of Accra City Of Ghana by victorDanladi: 7:39pm On Sep 23, 2017 |
Accra stretches along the Ghanaian Atlantic coast and extends north inland. Originally built around three different settlements, including a port ( Jamestown ), it served as the capital of the British Gold Coast between 1877 and 1957. Once merely a 19th-century suburb of Victoriaborg , Accra has since transitioned into a modern metropolis; the city's architecture reflects this history, ranging from 19th-century architecture buildings to modern skyscrapers and apartment blocks. Accra serves as the Greater Accra Region's economic and administrative hub. It is furthermore a centre of a wide range of nightclubs, restaurants and hotels. [8] Since the early 1990s, a number of new buildings have been built, including the multi-storey French-owned Novotel hotel. The city's National Theatre was built with Chinese assistance. In 2010, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network think tank designated Accra a Gamma-minus -level world city , indicating a growing level of international influence and connectedness. [9] The Greater Accra region is the most urbanized region in the country with 87.4% of its total population living in urban centres. The central business district of Accra contains the city's main banks and department stores, as well as an area known as the Ministries, where Ghana's government administration is concentrated. Economic activities in Accra include the financial and commercial sectors, fishing and the manufacture of processed food, lumber, plywood , textiles, clothing and chemicals. Tourism is becoming a thriving source of business for those in arts and crafts, historical sites and local travel and tour agents. The Oxford Street in the district of Osu has grown to become the hub of business and night life in Accra. 1 Like

MasterChen:There are so many open drainages in Ghana and when it rains there they have heavy floodings. The op just took pics of the highbrow areas and pasted it. To form an opinion about Ghana you actually need to travel there and live there. Aside light and the fact you can walk by 1 in the night without being afraid there's nothing. 8 Likes |

Accra is a beautiful city well planned no doubt but there are so many places worse than Ajegunle in Accra, places like Gbawe, Afuama, Manya, Nungua etc but I do pick Accra for any naija city though 2 Likes |

victorDanladi: Abuja is not completed yet. Still prefer Abj though even though Accra has a better social scene but it's been around for much Longer so that's expected. If you take recent equivalent picks of Lagos, Lagos will be tops. |

I know how these people are so let them know that it's not a competition between Accra and Lagos or Accra and Abuja as they have already started. 1 Like |

U know it is stupid to compare lagos and Accra .....I mean that an insult .the difference is fucking clear ....and as for that guy that said he has a lot of Nigerian in ghana he should come to lagos and see most of Ghanaians top celebrities living here in lagos because the city opens opportunities for them to move their career forward unlike in ghana.....I mean lagos is the home of nollywood movies which happens to be the best movies in africa with no rival .....so my dear Ghanaian brother suck it up and deal with that fact that lagos Is not Accra 's mate or if u doubt go ahead and browse top ten cities In africa and tell me if u will see any city from ghana on that list.... |

Absolutely. The people posting stuff about Ghana/Ghanaians on this forum are fvcking Nigerians. And I don’t know why they do it, knowing this is a Nigeria forum anything on a Ghana/Ghanaians will generate insults and badmouthing from these fuelish people. Please, you guys should leave Ghana, Ghanaians alone on this forum. After all, this is supposed to be a Nigerian forum, and secondly, you Nigerians have too many problems to begin to poke nose into other people’s matter. Yes, Accra is ugly, dysfunctional smells. But we like like that. You Nigerians shoul live happily in your nice cities and leave Ghanaians alone, haba! Na by force to talk about other people? Utter nonsense! leathalbeast: |

londoner:lagos has a greater skyline than Accra no doubt, that has to do with height zoning restrictions and demand for grade Acoffice properties, but Accra has a soul, a dynamic city with a lovable character. even will all the korle gono smell. when built upon tourism and business would be a key drive 1 Like |

londoner:the eko Atlantic city is a beauty, some of the towers are ready, could see them from the landmark event center, but watch out for the Accra marine drive, Accra is definitely going to be the lifestyle destination in west Africa |
