Resumen de Africa'S road to riches
Africa is embarking on a road-building spree. Ahead of the pack are mining organizations, largely funded by China, which have flooded into the continent over the last decade and need ways to transport materials. But also afoot is a larger, pan-African effort to upgrade and expand the continent's highway network, as well as building many more smaller connecting roads. The result will be a vast continental transformation with the potential to improve access to education and healthcare and connect Africans to each other, enabling commerce. It's not all good news, however. The roads, specially those built to service mines, could disrupt large tracts of natural habitat.
