Urbanization In Puntland

[Suldaanka]

Ive been to Bosaso,Garowe,and Hargeisa recently

Garowe is at least 100k. Shit laascanood is close to 100k maybe around 80k

The thing is Garowe is really dense being squished inside a valley

What do you think the pop of Xamr is then?

 

[Reer-Bari]

What are you going by. Hargeysa has 1.5 million pop. Bosaso has about 1 million and is really dense. Galkacyo has about 300k. Ask people who have went there on the site. @Reer-Bari . Tell us the pop. Of Bosaso.
Hargeysa is really big. Burco has 400k at least

bosaso is deeply dense and i believe has the 3 biggest population but its impossible to know how big until a statistical research is done. no city in somalias population is known. everything is a guess. my opinion somalia has 30 mill but outside forces hide our population.

Agreed . Yh Bosaso is third after hargeysa and xamar.
30 million the fake un report says about 18 million now and there is no way of calculating reer miyi.
Lakiin 160 for bosaso is laugahable

So Garowe is like Hargeisa before inside the valley but now it spread out and out of the valley...

30million?? what are you on sxb

 

[GBTarmy]

Garowe is strategic and nice planned city that sits on a valley while different steams pass through and near it, it also has nice farmland north and south of it which can be expanded, the northern farm areas existed even during migiurtinia times.

 

[Suldaanka]

30million?? what are you on sxb

The last census was in 1977. If the un estimates 18 milliin without counting reer miyi. Example Gobolka Sanaag. Like 85 of the people are reer miyi.
So maybe 25 is closer but i wouldnt doubt it

 

[Malikfiqi]

What do you think the pop of Xamr is then?

1.2-1.5 million

I agree Bosaso is third but only 20 years ago this was not the case Bosaso grew faster than any city in Somalia

It was after 1994 that it boomed especially 1998

Garowe as room to expand and might become one of the biggest cities in northern Somalia in the coming years.

 

[Suldaanka]

1.2-1.5 million

Hamar without idps is close 3.5 mil

 

[GBTarmy]

UN estimates 14million which sounds about right Somalia is not close to 25 or 30million unless you're counting Somaliweyn.

Hamar without idps is close 3.5 mil

what's with somalis and exaggerations? xamar at best is 2m

Our population was 2mil in 1960 even with somaliweyn it was 3-4 million tops in 1960 saying that it’s now 30million in 3 generations is impossible.

exactly we need to be realistic. btw this is Garowe expansion plan, it has already started and most land that is empty is owned by someone, the larger farms arent even in the map along with the airport.

When I was coming into Garowe I remember seeing walled off land that wasn’t built yet for miles before entering the city. It’s expected to double in size in the next 10 years. Considering it was a tuulo before the war (no offense)

Lol thats not offensive bro and yeah it wasnt even a tuulo way back. It's blew up since 1998, so far so good.

Have any efforts been made to turn the “tooga Garowe” into a permanent river or a water basin?
