SOMALILAND Burco Development News

[AarHawd_7]

The capital needs to be moved to Burco, its more central located. I’d say the government based in Hargeisa and capital Burco. Its where Somaliland was announced and the first major Isaaq city the SNM entered on 27th of may in 1988.

Once the Burco - Ceerigaabo road is finished both Ceerigaabo and Burco will see a huge boom.

I love Burco as it’s my City but we really need to build roads. I remember one time I was in Taweli(East Burco neighbourhood) where sand kept getting in my eyes.

We’re not called Burco Boodh Weyne (Sandy Burco) for no reason. Hopefully we can get that resolved as it’s a lovely vibrant city

I think if the capital city changes to Burco then it would bridge the gap between Galbeed and Bari dynamic. As well as, the taxes of Burco Residents needs to be used in Burco instead of Berbera. I think the capital should either be Boroma or Burco. It is an economical injustice that Hargeisa remains to be the capital of Somaliland.

Very nice planning. The mini grid is the best way to plan cities as it encourages walkability. Shame they did leave any dan guud areas like parks

So i was at Zoom Earth recently and while looking at Burco i noticed massive growth in the size of the city and also development and it's overall lushness in the last 7 years. What I'll be doing is show you guys Burco in 2013 vs Burco in 2020


Here is the city of Burco in 2013 two thousand feet off the ground

Now here is Burco in 2020 two thousand feet off the ground

As you can see there is massive growth in terms of its size and greeness but let's dive even further.


Here is a small neighborhood in the outskirts of Burco in 2013

Here is the same neighborhood in the outskirts of Burco seven years later in 2020. As you can see there was a massive expansion in the area since 2013

Here is another small neighborhood in the outskirts of Burco in 2013

Here it is again in 2020

And another one in 2013

And let's see how it's looking in 2020

Now let's look at one more neighborhood on the outskirts of Burco in 2013

And it's massive growth in 2020

To another seven years of development

Hargeisa became too expensive.

But Burco desperately needs infrastructure and a competent govt

i agree sxb, Burco has so much potential and so does Hargeisa, they both need great leadership for the cities to reach their full potentials

 

[TabK]

Burco's growth is so impressive. And it has room for much more expansion.

It is also sitting on some of the largest aquifers in the region, so water is never a problem.

 

[OffTheDome]

Burco is a massive and underrated city, it has some good city planning and it has some good roads, they even started refurbishing the older ones. Future capital of SL

 

[heavyrealm]

you should do
other somali cities its impressive how somali cities have developed these past 10 yrs

 

[salma saluuni]

Mashallah Burco’s a really beautiful city. I prefer Burco to hargeisa. Especially the locals there they have no chill

More pavement of their roads would be a major step in the right direction, and the way Burco is layed out with it's grid like city design it would be a breeze

Can’t wait to revisit burco. The people are friendly and welcoming.

even i got the vip treatment (well they are my reer abti).

they seemed to understand that the issues of the northern states are just border disputes and nothing else.
walle i hope that their city grows and that the people’s lives get more comfortable.
