Africa’s cities are expanding at an unprecedented rate.
A new report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Sahel and West Africa Club says the urban population will double to 1.4 billion by 2050.

BBC Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja explores this with Patrick Analo Akivaga, Chief Officer for Urban Development in Nairobi as well as Kenyan photographer Mutua Matheka, who documents Nairobi’s changing cityscapes and comedian Ty Ngachira, who shares his experience of moving to the capital.
