According to U.N. projections, the continent will have 18 cities with more than five million people by 2030, up from eight in 2018. Today 21 of the world’s 30 fastest growing cities, including the top ten, are African. Dar es Salaam—currently Africa’s fifth most populous city—ranks second, behind Kampala in neighboring Uganda. It’s projected to grow from six million people today to 13.4 million by 2035, crossing the “megacity” threshhold of 10 million people sometime before 2030.
