Our latest #AfUD22 report offers fresh insights into #Africa’s urban economies based on data from 4 million people and firms in 2,600 cities across 34 countries in Africa...👉 https://t.co/0ItFGvo60s
Cities significantly outperform their countries in almost all measurable socio-economic dimensions. About 30% of #Africa’s per capita GDP growth in the last 20 years has been due to #urbanization
