Mogadishu doing fine as long as it stays to itself but all that could evaporate once start running their mouth on how they control everyone else.The ball in their court whetha prefer destruction ova peace and prosperity, am afraid they not sure.

Mogadishu will prosper if the HAGs there continue playing their cards well and tell the world that they rule "Somalia" whilst they spend every dollar given to them in their city and their region. Why should they really care about Puntland and other places if that means sharing the aid given to them in the name of "Somalia" and the other benefits of having the capital city?

Population growth: Fastest growing urban area? It may surprise you

 

 

 

It has a smaller population than San Jose, Calif. -- but it’s the fastest growing urban area in the world.

 

New estimates from the United Nations peg Samut Prakan as the population center expected to grow the most between 2010 and 2015, its population anticipated to surge 9%. The Thai province located south of Bangkok is known for its fishing and boasts that it has the world’s largest crocodile farm.

 

Close behind are the booming metropolises of Can Tho (Vietnam), Mogadishu (Somalia), Yamoussoukro (Ivory Coast), Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso.)

 

Of course, it’s easier for little cities to grow quickly, and even with big growth smaller burgs like Mogadishu and Yamoussoukro aren’t going to catch up to Tokyo, Delhi or Los Angeles anytime soon.

 

But the cities on the list reflect a wider trend: Africa and Asia are expected to make up 86% of the growth in urban populations worldwide in the decades leading up to 2050, according to the United Nations. Newly released estimates show the urban population in Africa is expected to roughly triple, exceeding 1.2 billion; urbanites in Asia will soar from 1.9 billion to 3.3 billion.

 

There's an upside to urbanization: Educating people and bringing them other services is easier when they’re clustered in cities. The downside: Countries will have to scramble to provide enough urban jobs, housing, energy and infrastructure to avoid an explosion of slums, the U.N. says.
