Sunset View of Johannesburg Skyline & Nelson Mandela Bridge, Gauteng, South Africa
City of Johannesburg is often described as Africas economic powerhouse, and contentiously as a modern and prosperous African city. Due to its many different central districts Johannesburg would fall under the multiple nuclei model in human geography terms. It is the hub of South Africas commercial, financial, industrial, and mining undertakings. Johannesburg is part of a larger urban region. It is closely linked with several other satellite towns. Randburg and Sandton form part of the northern area. The east and west ridges spread out from central Johannesburg. The Central Business District covers an area of 6 square kilometres (2 sq mi). It consists of closely packed skyscrapers. Johannesburg is home to some of Africas tallest structures, such as the Sentech Tower, Hillbrow Tower, the Carlton Centre and Ponte City Apartments. The Johannesburg city skyline has most of the tallest buildings on the continent and contains most international organisations such as IBM, Absa, BHP Billiton, Willis Group, First National Bank, Nedbank and Standard Bank. Many of the citys older buildings have been demolished and more modern ones built in their place. North of the Central Business District is Hillbrow, the most densely populated residential area in southern Africa. Northwest of the Central Business District is Braamfontein, a secondary Central Business District housing many offices and business premises. The Central Business District is predominated by four styles of architecture, being Victorian Colonial, Edwardian Baroque, Art Deco and Modernism

Known as Africa's economic powerhouse, Johannesburg is a modern and prosperous city that serves as the hub for South Africa's commercial, financial, industrial, and mining activities. The city is characterized by its multiple nuclei model in human geography terms, with various central districts offering unique experiences. From the northern area encompassing Randburg and Sandton to the east and west ridges spreading out from central Johannesburg, this urban region is closely linked with several satellite towns. Johannesburg boasts an impressive skyline adorned with towering structures like Sentech Tower, Hillbrow Tower, Carlton Centre, and Ponte City Apartments. These architectural marvels contribute to making it home to some of Africa's tallest buildings. The Central Business District covers a compact area packed with skyscrapers spanning 6 square kilometers. It showcases a blend of Victorian Colonial, Edwardian Baroque, Art Deco, and Modernism architecture styles. Beyond its commercial prowess lies vibrant residential areas such as Hillbrow - southern Africa's most densely populated neighborhood - located north of the Central Business District. Braamfontein stands northwest as a secondary CBD housing numerous offices and business premises.
