Middle Africa Cities Overview

Middle Africa’s urban environment is dominated by Kinshasa, the capital of the DR Congo, with 21.9M residents, making it significantly larger than any other city in the region. Luanda, the capital of Angola, follows as the second-largest city with 8.5M inhabitants.

Several cities maintain populations over 1 million, including Lubumbashi (3.2M), Douala (3.7M), Yaounde (3.7M), and Brazzaville (2.3M).

The DR Congo, given its vast size, features numerous significant urban centers beyond its capital, including Mbuji-Mayi (3.3M), Kisangani (1.6M), and Kananga (1.9M). Similarly, Cameroon has developed several regional centers such as Garoua (359.2K) and Bamenda (432.3K).

Other national capitals serve as important regional centers, including N'Djamena in Chad (1.7M), Libreville in Gabon (1M), and Bangui in the Central African Republic (865.1K). This urban pattern reflects both colonial history and post-independence development, with many cities growing from administrative centers into major metropolitan areas.
