Richard AmmonNamibian Capital of Windhoek
Windhoek is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Namibia. It population is about 250,529. A population influx from all over Namibia has caused researchers to estimate the figure to be well over 300,000. It is a clean, modern, internet-connected bustling center with a range of architecture from Colonial German to art nouveau to mod chic. Due to its relative size Windhoek, in Namibia, the city is also the social, economic, and cultural centre of the country. Virtually every national enterprise has its headquarters here. The University of Namibia is here, as is the country’s only theatre, all ministry head offices, and all major media and finance bodies. The city of Windhoek’s budget nearly equals that of all other Namibian local authorities combined.
