2020, CitiesCitation Excerpt :to 12.4 sq. km, growing further to 68 sq. km in 1973, and in so doing absorbing many of the original ‘villages’ into the metropolitan area (Gleave, 1997). Correspondingly, the population grew to 33,000 in 1914, to 195,023 by 1963 (Doherty, 1985; natinpasadvantage, 2017), and then over 1 million by 2015, with 2 million in the greater municipal area (Cham & Kai-Banya, 2014). Given the relatively constrained physical site of the Freetown peninsula and the proximity of the surrounding hills, overcrowding and deteriorating living conditions were inevitable with such rapid growth.
