Xamar is a giant refugee camp with skyscrapers at this point.

We really need a hukou system, Somalis do best with cities in the 1-300k range, anything larger than a Galkacyo inevitably becomes a slum.
 
Somalia having 15-20 cities like Borama, Ceerigaabo and Garowe would be ideal. It'd also help maintain high TFR instead of everyone urbanizing in 1 place like Ethiopia or Kenya does
Xamar is in a unique position it’s the nearest urban centre to basically the largest agricultural region in somaliweyn lower shabelle due to reoccurring drought and insecurity a huge portion of that provinces population have urbanized in xamar also reer galmudug and hirshabelle urbanizing in xamar all those factors are contributing to the high population growth in the city

Hostile architecture, gated communities, ghettos, and inequality in big urban cities is a good recipe for gangs to born and flourish.

The growth the city has seen past decade has been insane but basic infrastructure is lacking. Not to mention wealth inequality. Past year has been the safest the city has been since early 80's.

We arent on that safety level yet but soon inshallah.
 
It’s went through a great job building this city up from the ground from all the terrorist attacks, civil wars and times it’s been burned to the ground but it doesn’t have a city planning or master plan it’s gonna become another NYC, Jakarta, Dubai, Boston, or Cairo.
 
I don't know what half the people are on but you don't see poor areas that are mostly jiingad until you go out of the main districts and to the outskirts of the city where land is cheaper. The government needs to do work on roads and basic infrastructure though and some greenery would be nice too.
