Cities in West Africa have grown significantly over the past 60 years, with more people living in urban areas. These cities play a crucial role in connecting local and regional economies to the global economy. Researchers have identified four key factors that influence city growth: size, market potential, urbanization level, and local dominance. By analyzing these factors, they have classified West African cities into seven different groups based on their behaviors. This study sheds light on the diverse dynamics of urbanization in the region and how spatial variables impact the growth and clustering of cities.
