My last visit to Addis was in 2023. But what I found in my latest visit jolted me. The face of this city has been completely changed lately. A flashback may help to challenge us to be bolder in pushing to improve our urban spaces.
When I first visited this city in 2006, there was not much to admire, save for some scattered high rise buildings. Its growth seemed embryonic, with pockets of mundane rural houses scattered at different places.
