View of City Skyline From Highway, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa
The city 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
