Graveyard For Dead Computers, Agbogbloshie, Accra, Ghana

Due to its early founding around the British, Danish, and Dutch forts, central Accra is compact. Over the years, however, with in-migration from rural areas, the city has expanded with no regard to zoning, giving it a sprawled attribute. The city of Accra has a total area of 200km2 and is the anchor city of the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) which is made up of the Accra Metropolitan District, Tema Metropolitan District, Ga South Municipal District, Ga East Municipal District, Ga West Municipal District, Adenta Municipal District, Ashaiman Municipal District, Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipal District, and the town of Kasoa in the Awutu Senya District of the Central Region. The intersection of the Lafa stream and Mallam junction serves as thewestern border of the city. The Great Hall of the University of Ghana forms the northern border, while the Nautical College forms the eastern border. The Gulf of Guinea forms the southern border. These borders notwithstanding, conflict points with adjoining districts exists, resulting in a de-facto shrinking of the city limits
