The Karu Urban Area is an urban area in central Nigeria. The urban area is majorly located in the Nigerian state of Nasarawa, but with some parts stretching into the boundaries of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). It has an area of 40,000 hectares (400 km2) and a population of some 2 million.[1]
It is one of the fastest growing urban areas in the world, with a growth rate of 40 percent recorded annually.[2][3] It consists of towns that developed as a result of urban sprawl from Abuja.[4]
From west to east, the urban area includes towns like Kurunduma, New Nyanya, Mararaba, New Karu, Ado, Masaka and newer, fast-growing towns such as One Man Village (which contains over 1 million people[5]), New Karshi and Gidan Zakara.[6] Since the beginning of the 20th century, these districts have grown together into a large urban area and a major commercial centre of central Nigeria.
