my dad's from there :) i've been there before: so alive, surprisingly spacious n clean, and extremely friendly. its one of Africa's urban success stories in its infrastructure and growing economy and investement. it has ALOT of potential, and is quite impressive for an African city metro of only 1.5 million people :) but, atm, to be honest i must say the skyline's ermm.. DEAD (lol) :( but i'd love see a pic of the skyline in 10-15 yrs time.
SeeMacau November 5th, 2004, 05:29 AM The national theatre looks nice ..
But nothing much around the city. 4/10
skyscraperking2005 November 5th, 2004, 07:05 PM This is a great city that will have a great skyline in the future. My family comes from ghana. It is a peaceful and vibrant city at night with virtually no crime at all :) 5/10 to the skyline at present though.
some other architecture and pics around the city:

skyscraperking2005 November 5th, 2004, 07:08 PM lumpia's taken the words right out of my mouth! One of the best cities ive ever gone too! :)
Nick in Atlanta November 5th, 2004, 08:09 PM I'll have to agree with Lumpia that the Downtown is somewhat lacking, but as Ghana is quite a stable country, the future looks bright. Also, any country that takes as much pride in its National Theatre building has got to have its priorities in the right direction!!
No vote now...I'll hold off a few years.

this pic of the skyline was taken in may 2002 and there have been several building projects since then.

lumpia November 6th, 2004, 04:32 PM Actually, i remember seeing loads of cranes the last time i was in Accra (2002), so i'm sure the skylines growing as i type. I've heard that Kotoka International Airport (thats the Airport in Accra) has now been expanded and the new buildings added are glass n steel beauties :) I'd love to see pics of either the plans or how the new Kotoka looks :)
skyscraperking2005 November 6th, 2004, 06:40 PM Kotoka International Airport Extension Information and Pics (http://www.azhararchitecture.com/Project_99_Kotoka.htm)
Lumpia here is the recent plans and pics for Kotoka International Airport Extension.
Nick in Atlanta November 6th, 2004, 09:08 PM Hopefully they will build the new airport, but it looks like they expect it to cost only $76 million dollars. I think a new modern airport will cost quite a bit more than that.
MattSal May 31st, 2005, 04:20 PM Nothing special to see here. I give it a 5/10.
SoboleuS May 31st, 2005, 10:27 PM Not very impressive, but quite good for Africa. 6/10

Lumpia here is the recent plans and pics for Kotoka International Airport Extension.
Wow! Thanks alot for the link.. i like what i'm seeing! it keeps a distinct Ghanaian flavour while still being ultra-modern, the roof is in the shape of the Golden Stool, and they've even made the shade at the departure entrance in a kente design! It still seems abit too southern-focused tho.. They couldve put in a few more influences from the north in the design as well to balance it out, for instance, the Larabanga mosque in the north is one of the oldest mosques in Africa, and one of Ghana's most beautiful traditional buildings..
But, its great! :okay: A better international airport means better international investment ;)

And again, those Brazilian cities that have posted between 10,000 and 50,000 inhabitants and this city was the capital of a nation, with a larger number of inhabitants and is the main city in the country, has a low skyline, ie, there was a greater requirement
