Noticed Somalia only properly grew for the last 10 years, especially speeding up in the last 6 to 4 years at that. Nice development in Mogadishu, Hobyo, Cadaado, Galkacyo, Hargeisa and Garowe to name a few, but a common theme is the lack of proper city planning. Euro style city planning should be implemented.

Nice find. Look at what happened to Bosaso daaaaaaamn. Mogadishu has also exploded.

I saw this a few days ago but I couldn't find the search button. How do you find Somali cities?

See, it was definitely worth it.

Progress was uniform with most if not all Somali towns and cities. Let's not turn this thread into another qabil/regional shitshow

No, progress was definitely not uniform. Clearly the fall of that government gave opportunities to other regions

Bosaaso is the most impressive in this data. From nothing to big city.

You have to be on desktop to view the timelapse. The search box is easily accessible from there

In 1984, Mogadishu was the only decent city.
