Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (abbreviated as the KMA) is one of the 261 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana.[2] It forms part of the forty-three districts in Ashanti Region, Ghana with Kumasi being its administrative capital.[3] The metropolis is located in the central part of Ashanti Region and has Kumasi (the regional capital) as its capital city.[4]With a projected population of over two million and an annual growth rate of about 5.4%, it is a rapidly expanding metropolis. The Metropolis is about 254 kilometers long,[5] with a centrally located commercial area and a largely circular physical structure.[6]The fast rate of urbanization is confirmed by estimates that 48%, 46%, and 60% of the Metropolis are rural, peri-urban, and urban, respectively.[7]
