I had the incredible fortune of visiting Tanzania recently, and flying over Dar Es Salam was mind boggling. That city is huge.
Arusha is gorgeous too.
And they’re all growing crazy fast, as far as I can tell. Africa is gonna be leaving us in the dust some day.
usually growing economies eventually stop growing, but the benefit newly growing economies can access is more modern technology built in right from the start, instead of centuries of retrofitting new technologies as they become available
If Africa isn't turbo fucked by the changing climate, they will almost certainly be the main powerhouse in 100 years or so.
That being said, I doubt many places will avoid being turbo fucked by it.
