African City Skyline Pictures

African Cities/City Skylines: Good Or Bad?

I want to open a thread on Africa's urban development and its city skylines because a nice skyline also shows the viguour of an economy and moreover it can be of interest to (future) architects or marketing people among us or simply to those who show some interest in countries beyond Nigeria'ss borders, 

i won´t post lagos skyline photos ´because everyone knows our city


THIS IS THE SKYLINE OF ABIDJAN (photos all before the crisis)
















THIS IS NAIROBI













This is the skyline of Dar esalaam















this is DURBAN

















this is CAPE TOWN






THIS IS KAMPALA (uganda)













this is our neigbour country and its capital Douala











This is the capital of Ex-Zaire Congo Kinshsha

Oh my God what beautiful cities, so these cities are really in Africa? what a marvel, i have never been more proud. I wish our leaders could only do more. I wouldn't want to trade these cities for anywhere else in the world. They are lovely

Yeah, these cities are A-L-L  in Africa, which one do you like most? And why? What do city planners need to do in order to improve African cities? What does a major African city need in order to call itself a "city" in your eyes? I do hope that we can start a debate on these topics. I am a bit sad that we as Nigerians always like to talk about US and UK but never show a lot of interest in our continent as a whole. So please, let´s discuss these topics a bit more, because Nigeria is our homeland and Africa our continent, not Europe nor America (don´t get me wrong, this should not mean that talking of US and UK is not fine)

My2cents, I will try to get some Naija pics , I diidn´t want to post ´em ´because I thought that everybody knows Abuja and/or Lagos on this forum. , but if you want me to post Nigerian cities, I will try (give me some more time)

My 2 cents, as promised here are a feww photos from Abuja





do you see all the cranes, i love theme especially when they are in Nigeria
















Can someone verify if that thing has been built?



highways outside of Abuja










THIS IS ABUJA TOWER IT IS A NEW PROJECT:::IF IT GETS THROUGH THIS WILL BE HIGHER THAN CARLTON TOWER IN SOUTH AFRICA



my2 cents, I hope you will answer me, my brother. Do you think that Abuja looks nice?

No problem, my brother,  I will keep on adding whenever i get new images. if you go, please don´t forget to take some more photos of construction sites, new building, roads etc. , post them on this web so that we all can see.

PS: I feel a bit sad that my thread seems to meet so little interest, do we Nigerians really love our country or Africa?

Constantin,

I will definitely visit often and definitely will share photos of any naija city I go to.  Thanks once again.

and to think you accused me of being "negative as usual" on another thread. 

Na wa o.  I guess you can't always win LOL

Dauda,

Speaking for myself, I send such photos to oyibo and other nationals who work with me on a daily basis 

I sure will.

Very Very


Nice pics
