Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The economic geography of West Africa began a long-term shift away from the interior and towards the coast, as evidenced by the growth of coastal cities such as Lagos and Abidjan in the 20th century. This shift was driven by factors such as the growth of international trade, the development of transportation infrastructure, and the decline of traditional trade routes through the Sahara.
