Though you have done a good job projecting Kumasi, you should do a video of plush residential areas as you did for Accra.

[@MyAfricaView]

It's not about showing plush. It's about giving the general look of the city. Maybe there are some plush gated estates that look better or not as good. But this video gives a clear view of the city for anyone

[@suntanglory]

I prefer kumasi to Accra, feels authentic. Some of the roads are now dualised, which really helps open up the city. Thank you.

[@MyAfricaView]

So nice of you

[@markntiri8251]

How many 3 lane roads do you have? I like how compact and built-up Kumasi is, but it doesn't wow me. Nothing avant garde/bespoke in your houses, designs etc. There should be an egg house, a ship house, etc etc like can be seen in Accra.

[@frankbediako1372]

​@markntiri8251 "three lane roads"? The cardinal principles of road construction in urban planning are to ease congestion and increase access through networks. It is a waste of of resources to build three lane roads if not needed. Visit New York, Chicago, London, and DC (cities I am conversant with cos I live or have lived) and see how many 3 lane roads they have (networks, overpasses and interchanges are more important!). Why should Kumasi have "egg", "ship houses", etc. like? Every city is unque, and that's the beauty. Paris, Rome, DC, LA, NY and Chicago do not look the same and they have their own unique architectural styles. DC, for example, heavily restricts high rise buildings or skyscrapers (it doesn't have any) but is still a beautiful city!

[@markntiri8251]

@@frankbediako1372 design of stuff must serve both a FUNCTIONAL and AESTHETIC need. Kumasi is a city, our second city at that, and it's architecture/spaces must reflect that: beautiful edifices etc. Kumasi does poorly in their architecture. Why? The only beautiful building I've seen there is that thankful heights building. Everything else is ugly. Aden? Don't their architects know modernist avant garde stuff? Look at Nana Bediako's no 1 oxford street building. Look at that kasapreko and villagio buidings at tetteh quarshie. Look at ecobank's iconic headquarters in Accra etc. Very beautiful out of the ordinary buildings. Those are stuff the Kumasi folks should be building, as testament to the worldclassness of their architects etc Kromu ay3 tantantan saa Aden? Kenyan youtuber is in Abuja now and you should see the beauty orderliness of the space When she showed Accra some months back I couldn't defend the disorder, ugliness we saw. A whole capital city Cities are banning plastic, we can't ban. Countries are doing Bus Rapid Transit BRT we can't do. We're still doing trotro, we can't do a MODERN public transport system. Cities are doing electric buses/train. Go and look at poorer Senegal running an electric train. Our korle, odaw in the middle of town is polluted. Etc etc And you don't want us to talk?

[@saheedaileru6850]

@markntiri8251 building all this won't in anyway beautify Kumasi if the fundamentals of how a city should be is still lacking. It will just be another lipstick 💄 on a pig 🐖 just like the Pokuase interchange in Accra.

We have been cleaning the city always and for a very long time. Kumasi is far cleaner and less stressful and calmer than the capital city. Cost of leaving is extremely cheap more than 50% below the cost of leaving in Accra. I recommend tourist and the diasporas and African American to start relocating there and they will thank me later. Housing, food, Transportation etc are so cheaper than Accra. A wonder why African Americans and other tourist will always want to choose Accra because they don’t explore the other part of the country for better leaving standards and excitement. Food which May cost GHc 200 in Accra , can cost with the same ingredients GHc70 in Kumasi. Rent costing GHc 4,000 per month in Accra can cost GHc 300 to GHc 600 per month in Kumasi.

@@user-yk4po5td1o The original land of KNUST was 17 kilometer square which included part of Kentinkrono. . The Adwaase part of KNUST was the first to be developed, then in 70s people started encroaching so the Kentinkrono part was fully encroached, sold by the chiefs and other traditional leaders. Adwaase was a tiny unknown village back then so everyone referred to KNUST as being at Kentinkrono. I believe you heard the Otumfuo vowed sometime ago to confront anyone who tries to encroach on KNUST land again.
