If you ask me I wouldn't rank cities by number of skyscrapers, some of the best city's in the world hardly have that much skyscrapers.. Look at Paris,London,L.A,.. To me a beautiful city is one with good infrastructure,well maintained parks,flowers and trees between streets, recreational activities, In Africa I will add designated markets for traders or hawkers.

Capetown may have less skyscrapers than Durban,Johannesburg and Cairo but its still the best and the most beautiful city in Africa.

In Kenya a town like eldoret has more tall structures than Nakuru, but Nakuru is still better than Eldoret.

Nigeria.though not there yet.but definitely making progress

arinzeejikonye:
nigeria belive

arinzeejikonye:
Got to love naija

Henrydone:
Wow eko atlantic is really progressing please can u bring more pictures from that region.

Abagworo:
It's a fallacy to compare Nigeria with Kenya. Nigeria has over 10 cities with population exceeding 1million and over 20 additional cities with population exceeding 500k. There are some things you just cannot compare like New York vs Port Harcourt.

arinzeejikonye:
The bridges.roads.rails.airports .seaports even some of the high rise are built by govt.

forgiveness:


No 1, Abuja road

No 2 is Lagos,around Surulere.

No 3, Mono rail along CBD in Lagos

No 4, Lagos port overlooking Eko Atlantic city.

Well done bro

arinzeejikonye:
Enjoy

You guys are really loosing focus, the main topic was on the social-economy of Kenya and what the Kenyan government is doing different that the Nigeria goverment has failed to do. The issue of skyscrapers does not impact directly to the common citizens since they are private entities. I would rather you show me pictures of government funded and built up hospitals, schools and major impacting amenities that benefit the average Nigerian.

Kenyanstar:


Which one of these actually benefits the local Nigerian populace? Nigerian contributors to this forum have only been showcasing the affluent areas where the few minority rich leave but ignoring the actual topic..... The Kenyans have tried to show you the different projects initiated by the government to revolutionize the local Kenyan citizen at the grassroots. But the Nigerians have turned it into a dick measuring contest where instead of comparing which public hospital is the biggest Nigerians are busy showing us how the few millionaires are the beneficiaries are benefactors of their oil wealth.

The Abuja centenary city...
Hmmmm...jez observing though

If you care to know
Lagos have 22highrise over 65m while Nairobi has 20

forgiveness:


The truth is, those projects were initiated by the government and it will provide jobs and attract foreigners to invest in Nigeria.

Even after the apartments are occupied, they need to by furnitures made by Nigerians, employ workers, etc I can go on and on.

There is difference between Highrise and Skyscraper.

Highrise is determined by a building with at 12 stories while a skyscraper is determined by a the height with must be at least 100 meters.

If we go by that standard Lagos has more than 100 highrise and I think it is more than Nairobi.
