For a country of its size Sudan has relatively few cities, which means that the population drift from rural areas is focused on a small number of urban centres.

Urbanisation is taking place at a rapid pace within Sudan. Although the trend is not new, the pace appears to be accelerating. For a country of its size, Sudan has relatively few cities; therefore the population drift from rural areas is focused on a small number of urban centres. Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, has grown particularly fast – by a factor of eight between 1973 and 2005 (an average annual growth rate of over 6%). Khartoum now has a population of over 5 million.
Figures from the recent population census in Sudan have not yet been officially released, which limits knowledge about the pace and scale of urbanisation elsewhere.
