Great piece, important topic! Our africapolis data is the only database that systematically includes these small cities - so that they will not be missed in analyses on African urbanisation!

Great to see our work on cities and urbanisation and africapolis being used by TheEconomist! ⁦SWAC OECD⁩ economist.com/middle-east-an…

Its not the tresholds. Its more an issue of how you define urban. Sometimes africapolis data below, and sometimes above UN…

philipp heinrigs (@pheinrigs) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Only part of the definition, 5k people how, what area, density? In Africa more than half the countries dont have a purely numerical (population size) definition of what is a city.

The analysis of #urbanisation processes in Africa by @Africapolis.org SWAC OECD is the best and most detailed that exists. I strongly invite all African #Planning Ministers to carefully read it before engaging in any #territorial development strategies
