Nairobi has more skyscrapper under construction than any city in Africa.
I believe now if you count building of more than 10 or 20 floors it probably has overtaken Joburg or just about.
Nairobi is only city in top 20 of LLC most dynamic (or rapidly) growing city in Africa - infact number 4 worldwide.
As for Abuja and Lagos - when generators go silent - we might hear you.
There is too much generator din. We cant hear you.

cities aren't just about skyscrapers of which Joburg has more of anyway, Joburg has nearly the road network of the entire Kenya, more stadiums than the entire Kenya, an economy nearly the size of the Kenyan economy, more golf courses than the entire Kenya, more malls than the entire Kenya, a housing market worth more than the entire Kenyan housing market, the 17th largest stock exchange in the world, BRTs,more universities than the entire Kenya... Should I go on?

rvp2018:
We are many who are delusional about Nairobi prospect.

Nairobi joins 19 cities in Asia in a ranking of the world's rising urban hubs.

If you know anything sensible about cities - all those cities have one thing in common - they are growing very very rapidly

And Nairobi has risen to no 4 - since it first entered the list in 2017 or 2016.

interesting that 80% of the cities on this list also rank ridiculously low wrt QOL... Including Nairobi

Lemme be frank with you. No city in west Africa can come close to Nairobi. Yes, entire west Africa.
It will be a futile attempt to debate you with a video, Notwithstanding. You're just rambling like a t1ppler.
Perhaps photos will speak volumes. Google images will speak more volumes. Google street maps will kill the show.

That aside, comparing Nairobi to a weeny slumbolish Abuja is an insult already. Mombasa can contest abuja very well and it will still take the honor.

Nigerians cities don't even have power, you can't run elevators on firewood. Skyscrapers right now are not feasible in the zoo.

Sometimes you think like an 0btuse. QOL ranks the most dynamic cities --- cities that are transforming so fast.

Some cities are sh1tty and they are static to their sh1ttines. That's why they ain't there eg, lagos, Abuja, accra.

No city in South Africa can come close to 70% of these cities. Joburg and cape town, for instance, are doing fine. No, used to do fine. They ain't changing to the grandness of Nairobi or Shanghai... That is not to say Shanghai is the most developed city in the world.

rvp2018:
After I discovered Airport city cbd was just 28 acres with 14 buildings my respect for Ghana and Accra totally collapsed. JKIA airport has more buildings than that.

Accra - old colonial CBD + 14 building in airport city - that is all. Kumasi is a market kraal.

All the gold from 15th century just disappeared to the thin smelly humid air?

Yup, all that gold and oil!! They should execute their Kings and Dangotes for all this misfortune.

Eko Atlantic which is about 25 km² is at least 10 times larger than Nairobi CBD

Accra, Abuja, and Lagos don't have a poor standard of living, poor QOL and look shitty like undeveloped Nairobi.

Should Nairobi become half as developed, it will show in your electricity consumption... Your city won't look that dark

Don't waste words. Rant with a link or something. Hobbit city is hobbitopic in nature --- I mean, Accra is way underdeveloped to Mombasa, talk less of Nairobi.

Accra is 5 times weeny to Lagos and Abuja. First thing first, stand Abuja before elevating your fantasies to Nairobi.

in terms of what exactly can't they come close? They rank higher than basically all the countries on this list wrt QOL.

And QOL stands for Quality of life btw

My brain is tingling trying to reason with you.
Try and think for a little bit.

Etymology
From French dynamique, from Old Greek δυναμικός, from δύναμις ("power", from δύναμαι ("I am able".

Pronunciation
IPA: /daɪˈnæm.ɪk/
Adjective
dynamic

Changing; active; in motion.
The environment is dynamic, changing with the years and the seasons.
dynamic economy
Powerful; energetic.
He was a dynamic and engaging speaker.
Able to change and adapt.

Dynamic does not state who is there already and who is not. It shows the rate of change --- the degree to which development is happening. How fast has it grown in the past 5 years or 10?

zombie ... All those links are already here

Just carry your shame of a city and and go and compare it with it mates like Kigali, Monrovia and the rest..


Before you think of ever comparing that shithole to Accra again, first double it electricity consumption to catch up with Accra and move 40% of it residents that live in mud houses without floors into better accomodations and pave it roads to Accra level.


Type plenty when you've done that

Skyscrappers is quickest way to know if a city is growing because the vertical growth is very apparent to people with limited intelligence like you. Horizontal growth is also happening. You can bet Nairobi is not just building skyscrapers for beauty but to respond to high demand for office spaces; Nairobi is catching up in horizontal infrastructure, housing, universities, malls, population, name it and will overtake Joburg in max a decade...min in 5yrs.

This image if you were intelligent enough would help you connect the dots.

They know the truth. Everytime they see Nairobi and kenya cities they cant believe. Their aggression is born out of anger and frustration that a poor mostly arid resource barren country like Kenya have pulled it - and they havent.

If they stop being angry and mad - they would be many lessons to be hard.

gallivant:

It will still be maybe two decades (max) for kenya to catch up with South Africa.
Remember your cement consumption is basically stuck - at 13m - or maybe even reducing - for a country twice the size of kenya and 10m people more.
Kenya cement consumption is growing at 20% annually - so it will overtake South Africa in 2-3yrs.
By 2027 - it will likely be at 20 million tonnes.
By 2030 - it will be at what who knows 40 million tonnes.

Meanwhile South Africa has peaked early and is highly unlikely to join say Thailand, China, Indonesia and others knocking at developed world status soon.

Already Mauritus left us and joined developed world. You could tell they were about because they were nailing many things including high quality of education - which is prerequisite to join developed world really - unless you're qatar or kuwait with gazillion of oil.

South Africa is stuck.
It remain stuck because the fundamentals are screwed.

South Africa has become the most violent rape capital full of uneducated idiots like you and the hunter mostly on drugs supplied by west africans. And their lights are going off.

So soon you'll become a real Zoo like Nigeria - and you will find like Nigeria skyscrappers that have completely been in disused for years. I think nearly half in Nigeria dont function - lifts stopped working - they are used as toilets. Cocoa house in Ibandan good example. Many in Lagos are abandoned - some burnt.

While Nigerian visit other cities and get suprised by "light" staying on for long; South Africans now get suprised if they dont get robbed or raped.

AfriqueDuZuid:
If cement consumption is to go by, this means Kenya is not closing any gap because SA is still consuming more and SA is far developed than kenya

Again even if Kenya consuming twice what SA consumes it would still be decades behind

Nairobi almost have a none existent middle class

Dirt poor mostly

How much progress did the dwarf Nana make in getting to the green city in the sun.
We should have warned you - not to try.
See now you're bankrupt and you didnt make any progress.

I like how you scream bankrupt because Kenya is....
Kenya should have just come to Ghana for help so that your country doesn't default because of it bankrupt state.


Sorry kiddo, we only copy from places more developed than us and not the back water you live in.

Keep crying

These are some of the largest communities in Nairobi
*Kayo*le has a population of almost 700,000
*Dan*dora(1,2,3&4) has almost a million
*Umoja has 300,000
*Matha*re has 600,000

Focus on giving these people a good life instead of having them fight over water and co daily

These numbers make *kilimani*Karen *Runda and co combined are not even up to the size of just *Umo*ja
