Kumasi, Regional capital in south-central Ghana.
The metropolis spans 254 square kilometers across 10 sub-metropolitan areas with hills rising to 300 meters in a dense forest region.
King Osei Tutu established the city around 1680, naming it after the kum tree where he negotiated land terms for the Asante Empire capital.
The Manhyia Palace houses the Asante king and the Golden Stool, which represents the authority of the Asante traditional leadership system.
Major roads from across Ghana converge in Kumasi center, connecting to 1,005 kilometers of water supply infrastructure and five health districts.
The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology operates alongside research centers specializing in agriculture and traditional craft production.
