NPR on West Africa

How a road could change West Africa’s urban future Kasoa is a snapshot of how unplanned urbanization is unfolding in the region. Its population growth is far outpacing the creation of new roads and other public development. “In Kasoa, things are much easier,” George says, “for now.” The growing influx is slowly driving up prices here too. “Maybe in a few years, we’ll have to move again.” Not a fan of this scroll-to-view style, but this is some excellent reporting and pictures from a trip along the coast of West Africa.
