أكرا ( Accra ، /əˈkrɑː/; Ga: Ga or Gaga; توي: Nkran; Ewe: Gɛ; Dagbani: Ankara) هي عاصمة غانا وتطل على خليج غينيا، الذي هو جزء من المحيط الأطلسي.[5][6] وفي تعداد 2021، Accra Metropolitan District, 20.4 km2 (7.9 sq mi), had a population of 284,124 inhabitants, and the larger Greater Accra Region, 3,245 km2 (1,253 sq mi), had a population of 5,455,692 inhabitants.[7] In common usage, the name "Accra" often refers to the territory of the Accra Metropolitan District as it existed before 2008, when it covered 199.4 km2 (77.0 sq mi).[8] This territory has since been split into 13 local government districts: 12 independent municipal districts (total area: 179.0 km2) and the reduced Accra Metropolitan District (20.4 km2), which is the only district within the capital to be granted city status.[9] This territory of 199.4 km2 contained 1,782,150 inhabitants at the 2021 census,[10] and serves as the capital of Ghana, while the district under the jurisdiction of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly proper (20.4 km2) is distinguished from the rest of the capital as the "City of Accra".[11] أكرا هي أكبر مدن غانا ومركزها الإدارى والاقتصادى والاتصالي. أكــرا عاصمة غانا ومن كبريات مدنها، وتقع على الساحل الشمالي لخليج غينيا. وتشمل مرافق مواصلات أكرا سكة حديد ومطاراً دولياً. وتشمل صناعات المدينة إنتاج القرميد والطوب ومعالجة الماس والخشب. أقيمت جامعــة غانـا في ليجـون، وهي منطقـة سكنـية شمال المدينة. ويبلغ عدد سكان أكرا وضواحيها 1,420,065 نسمة منهم 964,879 نسمة في أكرا وحدها.

أنشأ شعب جا مدينة أكرا في منتصف القرن السابع عشر الميلادي، وكانت مركزا لتجار الرقيق في إفريقيا من القرن السادس عشر الميلادي حتى منتصف القرن التاسع عشر الميلادي. بنت الأمم الأوروبية التي كانت تتنافس على تجارة العبيد عدة حصون في مدينة أكرا. وقد أضاف خط السكة الحديدية ربط أكرا بالمناطق الداخلية عام 1923م إلى المدينة أهمية اقتصادية.

Formed from the merger of distinct settlements around British Fort James, Dutch Fort Crêvecoeur (Ussher Fort), and Danish Fort Christiansborg as Jamestown, Usshertown, and Christiansborg respectively, Accra served as the capital of the British Gold Coast between 1877 and 1957 and has since transitioned into a modern metropolis. The capital's architecture reflects this history, ranging from 19th-century colonial architecture to modern skyscrapers and apartment blocks.[12]

Accra is the Greater Accra Region's economic and administrative hub, and serves as the anchor of the larger Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA),[13] which is inhabited by about 4 million people, making it the thirteenth-largest metropolitan area in Africa. In 2020, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network think tank designated Accra as a "Gamma −" level global city, indicating a growing level of international influence and connectedness.[14]

أصل الاسم

The word Accra is derived from the Akan word Nkran meaning "ants", a reference to the numerous anthills seen in the countryside around Accra.[15][نشر ذاتي سطري?] The name specifically refers to soldier ants, and was applied to both the town and people by the Twi speakers.[16][17]

The name of Accra in the local Ga language is Ga or Gaga, the same name as that of the Ga people and a cognate with Nkran. The word is sometimes rendered with the nasalised vowels as Gã or Gãgã. Historian Carl Christian Reindorf confirmed this etymology, proposing a link between the martial qualities and migratory behaviour of the local ants and those of the Ga people. The link between the ethnonym and ants was explicitly reflected in the recognition of anthills as sacred places. Often ringed by sacred fences (aklabatsa), the tall red mounds dotting Accra's hinterland were seen as microcosms of human community and as nodal points between the known world and the world of the dead.[16]

The Ga used the reference to the invasive species of dark-red swarming ants to connote military prowess and their ancient conquest of Guang speakers residing in the Accra Plains.[18]

The name Ga is actually a cognate of the name Akan, one of a few words in which [g] corresponds to [k] in Akan.[19] Ga also gave its name to the Ga districts surrounding Accra.[20][نشر ذاتي سطري?]

The spelling Accra was given to Nkran by Europeans.[20] An earlier spelling used by the Danes was Akra.[21][22]


التاريخ

A contemporary drawing of the Danish empire fort, Fort Christiansborg, now Osu Castle. The outpost to the right is Fort Prøvestenen

اُسست المدينة في أواخر القرن السابع عشر بواسطة شعب الگا Ga ويُشتق اسم المدينة من كلمة نكران ( Nkran) وتعني النمل في إشارة إلى مستعمرات النمل الكثيرة الموجودة بالمناطق الريفية المحيطة بأكرا، كانت المدينة قديماً مركزا للتجارة مع البرتغاليين الذين بنوا حصناً في المدينة ثم تبعهم السويديون و الألمان والفرنسيون والبريطانيون.

منتزه كوامى نكروما التذكاري

كان سهل أكرة يضم عدداً من القرى يسكنها أفراد قبيلة «گا» Ga، المتفرعة عن مستوطنة أياسو Ayaso التي استقرت على مسافة نحو 24 كم إلى الشمال من ذلك الموقع.

والبرتغاليون أول من نزل ساحل أكرة من الأوربيين عام 1482، وفي المدة بين 1650 -1680 أقام التجار الهولنديون حصناً لهم على الساحل عرف باسم حصن كرِڤكور Fort Crèvecœur. وأقام الإنكليز حصن جيمس Ft. James إلى الشرق منه، وأنشأ الدنماركيون قلعة دعوها كريستيانزبورگ Christiansborg. وفي تلك الأثناء دمرت الحروب المحلية مستوطنات أياسو وگا مما دفع سكانها إلى التحرك باتجاه الساحل والاستقرار حول تلك الحصون التجارية للمتاجرة مع الأوربيين، وتكوَّنت نتيجة لذلك ثلاث بلدات ساحلية كانت نواة مدينة أكرة الحديثة.

تطورت أكرة نتيجة عاملين اثنين هما: التجارة أولاً، ونقل عاصمة مستعمرة ساحل الذهب البريطانية من الكاب Cap إليها عام 1898 ثانياً (تخلى الدنماركيون ثم الهولنديون عن معقليهم لبريطانية في عامي 1850 و1872) وقد حاول مجلس المدينة في عام 1898 إدخال تحسينات على مخططها فلم ينجح تماماً، وأدت الأوضاع غير الصحية إلى انتشار الطاعون عام 1907، بيد أن المشروعات اللاحقة الرامية إلى تطوير المدينة التي نفذتها إدارة المستعمرة في العشرينات من القرن العشرين انتهت إلى نمو المدينة نمواً مطرداً، وزاد في نجاحها تزايد السكان من 60.627 نسمة عام 1931 إلى 133.192 نسمة عام 1944، وقد بلغ عددهم 949.100 نسمة في إحصاء عام 1988.

After World War II

Jamestown Lighthouse in Jamestown/Usshertown

In the years following World War II, the neighbourhoods of Ridge and Cantonments were planned as low-density developments for Europeans, while many rural migrants settled in neighbourhoods which had not yet been incorporated into Accra's municipal boundary, such as Nima and surrounding areas.[بحاجة لمصدر] Thus, the development of these neighbourhoods was unregulated by the government, creating a crowded and jumbled shanty-town landscape.[بحاجة لمصدر]

Another area of Accra that took shape at this time was the central business district (CBD). More administrative buildings were built on High Street, forming a massive judicial/administrative complex. Additionally, the expansion of the economy led to many more commercial buildings being built in the CBD.[بحاجة لمصدر]

In 1944, Accra's city planner Maxwell Fry devised a town plan, which was revised in 1958 by B.D.W. Treavallion and Alan Flood. Although the Fry/Trevallion plan was never followed through, it illustrated the British vision of how Accra should develop.[بحاجة لمصدر]

In 1948, Ghana remained a colony of Great Britain following World War II. The chief of Osu Alata, Nii Kobina Bonney III, had set up a boycott of European goods across the country due to the rise of prices for essential commodities.[23] At the same time veterans of the war were fighting for their benefits and promised pay.[24] Unarmed ex-servicemen organized a march on Christiansborg Castle, Accra on February 28, 1948. Their plan was to hand a petition to the colonial governor demanding they receive their pay and benefits. Before reaching the castle, the veterans were fired upon, after being ordered by the colonial police chief to disperse. Three of the leaders of the demonstration were killed, including Sergeant Nii Adjetey, who now has a memorial in Accra.[بحاجة لمصدر]

Fry/Treavallion plan

قالب:Unreferencedsect In the Fry/Treavallion plan, a reorganization of the CBD was called for, as well as the development of the coastal region of the city. To reorganize the CBD, the planners decided to superimpose a tight street grid north of Fort Ussher.

To the east of this newly organized CBD, the planners hoped to preserve a broad, open space for a restaurant, country club, and polo and cricket fields. Additionally, the British planners intended to build large numbers of public squares, fountains, and ornamental pools and statues throughout the city, as well as a vast Parliament Complex in the city centre. Lastly, the Fry/Treavallion plan included plans to make the coastal region an extension of the exclusive European neighbourhood of Victoriaborg, and to create a recreational preserve for the elite. However, the British Gold Coast ended before the Fry/Treavallion plan was enacted.

Nkrumah Plan

Black star Square

When Kwame Nkrumah became Ghana's first post-independence Prime Minister in 1957, he created his own plan for Accra's development.[25] Instead of creating spaces to serve the elite, Nkrumah sought to create spaces to inspire pride and nationalism in his people and people throughout Africa.[بحاجة لمصدر]

Rather than creating ornamental fountains and a large Parliament complex, Nkrumah decided to build landmarks such as Independence Square, the State House, and the Organisation of African Unity building, and to refurbish Christianborg Castle. Nkrumah decided to leave the Atlantic coastal region undeveloped, so as to not detract attention from the Community Centre or Independence Square, lending both spaces symbolic significance.[بحاجة لمصدر] The Nkrumah plan did not emphasise order nearly as much as the Fry/Treavallion plan did; whereas the British plan strove to lessen crowding in the commercial district and help relieve the overcrowding of neighbourhoods bordering the CBD, the Nkrumah plan allowed for continued compression of commercial establishments into the CBD, as well as increased migration into Jamestown.[بحاجة لمصدر]

The modern city is centred on the original British, Danish, and Dutch forts and their surrounding communities: Jamestown near the British James Fort, Osu near the Danish fort of Christiansborg (now Osu Castle), and Ussherstown near the Dutch Ussher fort.

Tourist attractions include the National Museum of Ghana, the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Archives of Ghana and Ghana's central library, the National Theatre, the Accra Centre for National Culture, and the Jamestown Lighthouse.

The Parliament, Supreme Court of Ghana, Black Star Square and the Bank of Ghana are also located in Accra.

The city is also a transportation hub, home to the Kotoka International Airport, and railway links to Tema, Sekondi-Takoradi and Kumasi. Accra has become a location for national and international business conferences, such as the BarCamp Ghana series, organised by GhanaThink Foundation.[26]

السكان

The period between 1960 and 1970 saw rapid industrialization and expansion in Accra's manufacturing and commercial sectors. This contributed to high rural-urban migration to the city, and consequently a high population growth rate.[27] The stagnation of the Ghanaian economy during the 1970s slowed the growth of Accra's population, as shown by the falling growth rate of the 1970–1984 intercensal years. Later, however, the decline in agriculture in rural communities in Ghana and rising industrialization in urban regions, coupled with the late-1980s boom in the service sector, once again propelled immigration to Accra. The primacy of the Accra Metropolitan Area as the Greater Accra region's administrative, educational, industrial and commercial centre continues to be the major force for its population growth, with immigration contributing to over 35% of the Accra's population growth.

Distribution and density

قالب:Unreferencedsect The gross density of population for the Accra Metropolitan Area in 2000 was 10.03 persons per hectare, compared to 6.23 per hectare in 1970. The highest densities were recorded in the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, with an overall average of 69.3 persons per hectare. At the community level, densities exceeding 250 persons per hectare occurred mostly in the immigrant and depressed areas in the oldest parts of Accra, such as Accra New Town, Nima, Jamestown and Usshertown. In higher-income areas, densities ranged between 17.5 and 40 persons per hectare.

Population distribution by age and gender

Accra's population is a very youthful one, with 56% of the population being under 24 years of age. This predominance of young people is not expected to decline in the foreseeable future. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the population are females, and the remaining 49% males. This gives a males-to-females ratio of 1:1.04. The greater number of females is a reflection of the nationwide trend, where the estimated ratio of males to females is 1:1.03.[28]

Migration

Decentralization is expected to reduce the migration rates in Accra. An assessment of the extent of migration to Accra, based on present locality and gender, reveals that 45% of residents in Accra are African immigrants from countries across the African continent.

Housing

قالب:Unreferencedsect Parts of Central Accra comprise a mixture of very low-density development with under-used service infrastructure on the one hand, high-density development and overstretched infrastructure services on the other. The growth of Accra has led to the neglect of some of the old settlements, whilst efforts are being made to provide the newly developing suburban areas with services and infrastructure to cater for the needs of the middle-income earners. Peripheral residential development in Accra barely has sufficient infrastructure to support it. There are also large numbers of uncompleted houses, interspersed with pockets of undeveloped land, which are often subject of litigation, due to the inability of organisations and individuals who own them to complete or develop them due to lack of funds. Housing can be grouped into three broad categories: the low-income, middle-income and high-income areas. The low-income housing areas comprise Osu, Jamestown, Adedenkpo, Chorkor, La, Teshie, Nungua, Sukura, Kwashieman, Odorkor, Bubiashie, Abeka, Nima, Maamobi and Chorkor. Altogether, these areas accommodate about 58% of Accra's total population. Most of Accra's informal businesses are located in low-income areas.

Almost all low-income areas are built up with little room for expansion. This is particularly so in the areas of the inner city. The middle-income areas of Accra are predominantly populated by Ghanaian citizens and business, administrative and professional families. Much of the housing in these areas has been provided by state, parastatal and private sector organisations and individuals. The middle-income areas include Dansoman Estates, North Kaneshie Estates, Asylum Down, Kanda Estates, Abelempke, Achimota, Adenta and Tesano. Usually, these areas, unlike the low-income areas, are planned developments, but are in need of infrastructure services. Building materials and general housing conditions are of better quality. The middle-income group comprises 32% of the city's population of which are Ghanaian citizens make up. The high-income areas provide housing for the remaining 10% of the population of which Ghanaian citizens also make up. They include areas like North Ridge and West Ridge, Ringway Estates, north Labone Estates, Airport Residential Area, Roman Ridge, East Legon.

These areas are all planned and have well developed infrastructure with spacious and landscaped ground in sharp contrast with, particularly, the low-income areas. Buildings are usually built with sandcrete blocks, and have walls and roofed with aluminium, or asbestos roofing sheets. There are also high-income peripheral areas like Haatso, Kwabenya, Pokuase, Adenta, Taifa, Mallam, where development of engineering infrastructure is not yet complete. These areas developed ahead of infrastructure, however the Achimota-Ofankor controlled-access highway was scheduled to open in May 2012,[needs update][29][30] dual carriageway road construction was also due to be completed in 2012.[needs update] In total, 84.4% of all houses in the Accra Metropolitan Area have their outside walls made up of cement. Similarly, houses found within Accra have 99.2% of their floor materials made up of cement.

Accra's smallest economic sector, the primary sector, employs approximately 91,556 people. The predominant economic activities are fishery and urban agriculture, with fishery accounting for 78% of production labour. Urban agriculture in Accra centres on the growth of vegetables, several crops and poultry. The fishery industry is the most important sub-sector, with 10% of the catch being exported and the rest consumed locally. The industry is characterised by extreme seasonableness, operating primarily between June and September. Although most deep-water Atlantic fishing around Accra takes place in the June–September period, fishery operations take place close to the shore throughout the year, and there are clear indications of the depletion of fish stocks in the near future. Fishing operations are most prominent at the Jamestown, La, Teshie, Nungua and Chorkor fishing shores.
