  A Central Business District (CBD) is the central or main commercial and business area of a city, often referred to as "the city". It's characterized by a high concentration of offices, shops, and financial institutions, making it the heart of a city's economic and social life. CBDs are typically located at the meeting point of a city's transportation systems, leading to high land values and intensive development

  The government needs to collaborate with civil engineers to do a feasibility study to relocate the capital between Amansaman and Koforidua.
  
  - Accra has a high density population.
  - Accra is choked with traffic.
  - Accra is filthy.
  - Accra has high pollution. Too many airborne diseases.
  
  The government must exercise its power of eminent domain to acquire all this parcel of land to complete this project.
  
  Ghana should have followed suite, right after Nigeria relocated its capital from Lagos to Abuja in the 90"s.
  
  Senegal, Ivory Coast and Egypt have all relocated its capital city.
  
  Government needs to set aside high budget for infrastructural upgrade and development. This a huge project, but it is worth it. This project needs to ne started within 2 to 5 years, irrespective of which party is in power.
  
  The future is bright for Ghana.
  
  God bless our homeland, Ghana.

  That is a good step, bringing law and order to the streets in Accra. lt is an eye sore when u see what is going on in Accra, as if there is no Mayor controlling the City. Everywhere in Accra is dirty, bcus the streets are taking over by hawkers , who have taken the law into their own hands.

  For God’s sake, and for peace of mind, leave the market women alone. It’s not their fault, nor their love for lawlessness that they are selling on the pavements.

  It’s the economy stupid. So as the economy gets better and better, there’ll be less and less people selling on pavements. For in the Ghana of the 60’s and early 70’s there was no one who sold things on pavements.
  IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID! As Americans put it.

  These hawkers are the reason for all the dirt and flood you see in Ghana. They create all sorts of filth.

  PAVEMENTS ARE NON EXISTING AND PEDESTRIANS HAVE NOWHERE TO WALK BUT ON THE ROAD THEN BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT THAT ANYONE CARES.
