Accra
AbstractAccra, the political, financial and industrial capital of Ghana, has a metropolitan population of over 1.6 million that is expected to grow beyond 4 million by the year 2020. As a rapidly growing low-income city, Accra has basic environmental problems related to poor sanitation, inadequate waste management, and overcrowded, ill-sited squatter settlements; these reduce the urban area's economic productivity and primarily affect its impoverished citizens. The profile summarizes the status of natural resources and environmental risks in the metropolitan area, examines interactions between environmental quality and economic development, and describes the institutional setting for environmental management, including initiatives for improvement. The article summarizes a lengthier and more detailed profile that was prepared as part of a rapid urban environmental assessment of the metropolitan area (see introductory article in this issue).
