Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) concerns cross-border investment made by a firm in
one country into a firm in another country. Generally, studies show that FDI is a major contributor to economic growth in African
economies, stimulating rapid urbanization, which in turn leads to property
development (Huang and Ren, 2013; Tshepo, 2014). The economic success of world cities is increasingly determined by their power and
position within global networks of investment (Alderson and Beckfield 2004.
