WE HAVE GOT YOU COVERED
There is a lot that can be said about life in Johannesburg, but the most fitting way to describe it is metropolitan life pushed to the extremes. Despite being the largest city in South Africa — with urbanization sprawling for miles — Johannesburg has the friendliness of a town. Expats will not feel out of place in this highly diverse metropolis, with a great multitude of different ethnicities and cultures coexisting there. Some of the city’s extreme traits, however, are not so favorable: the divide between rich and poor is much more pronounced than in most other places, and the city struggles with health and crime issues to a much larger extent than most other expat destinations. With that said, Johannesburg is unique and colorful —the city offers a multitude of opportunities and you will have a fascinating time as an expat abroad.
Architectural Firm in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa, with just over five million people living there as of 2018. It is not only expats that is causing the population to keep rising, but also people coming to Johannesburg from other provinces in search of a better future. In terms of ethnicity, roughly three quarters of the population in 2018 identified as black African. A further 12.3% identified as white, and a respective 5.6% as colored. Johannesburg also has a fairly large Indian community, meaning it is unsurprising that the final five percent of the population identified as Asian. Life in Johannesburg does not stop at dusk, and the city has a bustling nightlife. Whether you are looking for a quiet pub for an after-work drink, or somewhere lively to dance the night away, Johannesburg has it all. Although it’s fine to enjoy an evening out, just ensure to be safe when venturing into certain parts of town — you wouldn’t want your night to end badly.
The unique and colorful city that is Johannesburg is mirrored in its architecture with its diverse range of styles, disciplines and finishes.
