DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bncmll/burgeoning_mega) has announced the addition of the "Burgeoning Mega Cities in SSA" report to their offering.
By 2025, more than 70% of Africa's population is expected to be living in cities. A Mega City is defined as an urban area with a population of more than 8 million and a gross domestic product (GDP) of at least $250 billion. There are several emerging Mega Cities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), including Lagos, Kinshasa, Luanda, and Johannesburg.
The rapid growth of Mega Cities places severe strain on economic, ecological, and social resources. The effective use of information and communications technology (ICT) in these cities will lead to efficient service delivery and integrated solutions, introducing significant opportunities for ICT providers.
Key Findings:
- Emerging Mega Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) include Lagos, Kinshasa, Luanda, and Johannesburg.
- The rapid growth of Mega Cities places severe strain on economic, ecological, and social resources; it has become increasingly difficult to manage city growth.
- The effective use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in cities will lead to efficient service delivery and integrated solutions. Thus, the growth of Mega Cities necessitates Smart City development.
