African Cities help to Boost Economy in the Region

Sub-Saharan Africa is undergoing some impressive economic changes, and cities are playing an important part in the growth. Lagos and Nairobi, specifically, are two of the top 20 fastest growing cities in the world, and the share of the urban population of Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to grow to 45 percent by 2030. With a rising middle class and an attention to industry, these cities are helping boost the area's overall economy, despite a poor business climate.
