From the beginning of the nineteenth century Africa's historical centers found themselves outstripped by new-type, initially isolated creations like Khartoum, founded by the Egyptians and Zanzibar reborn under the Muscat Arabs a development that became more general, and above all endowed with better resources, later, when the continent; was carved up by the colonial Powers in 1885 But it was only with the Second World War that some of the colonial capitals began to grow inordinately and to create the problems they now present to the newly independent African States, Like other colonial phenomena, this urban upsurge was a manifestation of a "projected" economy, made possible by large-scale investments whose profitability is now in doubt.
