The map
About this Kananga map poster
Kananga, known as Luluabourg until the early 1970s, is the capital of Kasai-Central province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its map shows a city spread out across a plateau, with a more regular colonial-era centre surrounded by extensive neighbourhoods that follow the gentle rise and fall of the land.
The railway line that crosses the region passes through Kananga, and it helped shape the city's growth. Around it, roads branch outward into residential areas, where the streets become less regular. The Lulua River flows to the west of the city, and valleys and streams cut through the surrounding land.
A Kananga map poster is often chosen by people with family in Kasai. The city's broad, open layout and the lines of the railway and valleys make for a calm, balanced composition on a wall.

Railway line
The railway runs through the city, a long straight line that helped shape its growth and still organises part of the map.
Valleys and streams
Small valleys cut through the plateau, interrupting the streets and giving the outer districts a softer, irregular texture.
