Average African urban area: ~92,000 people. Greater Cairo: 29 million. Across 7,549 urban areas in 43 countries, people follow Zipf's law but economic activity concentrates in the biggest cities. Secondary cities need investment. #WorldHabitatDay https://t.co/xfcRH7O6Yy

💡Why it matters: Betting shops (cash + crowds) attract thieves, NOT desperate gamblers. Fix? Smarter zoning + community policing.

🏚️ NEW STUDY: Living closer to sports betting shops in Ghana ↑ burglary risk. Doubling the distance cuts crime by 5.5%! But here’s the twist: Tight-knit communities report more crime—likely because they notice/report thefts faster.

In Africa's partisan blame game, opponents overlook the causes of problems; point fingers at each other but apply the same solutions that keep failing both whilst the causes remain. As the saying goes, if the only tool in your hand is a hammer, every problem will look like a nail

Revising a paper is more about spending hours and hours to find a reference to support what you know is absolutely true but you just need someone to agree with you 😂😂

@BBSimons Bright, if we use that 13,434,574 as the valid votes, then JDM's percentage falls to 46.26%. I guess it was a typo. It should rather be total and not valid votes.
