With coverage of more than 11,000 urban agglomerations in all 54 countries, the report ‘Africa’s Urbanization Dynamics 2025’ provides a previously unheard-of analysis of urban expansion throughout the continent. By 2050, Africa’s urban population is expected to quadruple from 700 million to 1.4 billion, making it the world’s second most urbanized continent behind Asia, according to the research. It examines how this quick growth affects financing, governance, and urban planning and offers specific suggestions for decision-makers, local governments, and development partners. The paper highlights Africa’s urban transition’s prospects and difficulties and promotes proactive measures to guarantee resilient, inclusive, and sustainable urban development.
