Europeans copy from each other. They competed, fought and pushed each other to prosperity.
Then colonized the rest of the world, and then every other country has been looking up to them since then.
Most countries did a great job copying them. Africa is still struggling to do the same.
Everything we do, from food, to clothes to democracy and developing cities has its modern roots in Europe.

Magorofa yasikujalishe.
By 2025, Nairobi will be home to at least 17 of top 20 tallest buildings in East Africa.
River estate project alone has 12 towers of 34 floors each, and they are under construction.
How many skyscrapers are under construction in Tanzania right now, and how many floors each?
Also you need to understand that all the buildings that have collapsed have been cheap, shoddy buildings in the suburbs, often 20-30km far from Nairobi CBD.
Lakini Mtz akiskia Nairobi in the news, you picture Posta or Kariokor 🤣 🤣
You remind me of a wedding I attended that had many Tanzanian guests.
The ones who were in Kenya for their first time could not believe they were still in Nairobi after driving forever. 🤣🤣

There's a difference between slums and informal settlements.
In Kenya, the entirety of Dar es Salaam outside Posta and a few other areas, would be considered as slums, informal or poorly planned settlements.
Most of Nairobi's informal settlements would be considered well planned middle class areas in Dar.
In Dar you literally have an urban sprawl of slums and informal settlements, extending for thousands of acres on every side, farther than the eye can see.
In Nairobi, almost all slums occupy small patches of land often less than 50 acres, close to the city. Nairobi suburban sprawl is bliss. 😀😂😂
This aerial view of Dar says it all. Hapa Kenya, this is called a slum.
When you consider that 90% of the built up area in Dar look like this, you start to get the picture.
Dar es salaam middle class (in Kenya these are called slums)
Nairobi poorly planned settlements
A majority of Nairobians you think live in slums actually live in flats like these. They are by no way properly planned.
Little space for roads, minimal or non-existent sewerage services, taps with no water, no emergency services, few schools etc.
But in Tanzania, this would fall perfectly in the middle class. Perhaps even 'upper middle' 🤣 🤣 🤣
