dbo:abstract
  • Osu oder auch Christiansborg ist ein Stadtteil von Accra, der Hauptstadt von Ghana, mit etwa 44.000 Einwohnern. Die zwei parallel verwendeten Namen hängen mit der Landesgeschichte zusammen. „Osu“ ist abgeleitet von dem akanischen Wort für Fluss, da der ortsansässige Volksstamm Zugang zum Volta hatte. Christiansborg nannten die Dänen ihr seit 1659 errichtetes Fort, das hier gelegen ist und später viele Jahrzehnte lang Regierungssitz war. Osu hat zwar eine eigene Verwaltung, ist aber zugleich auch Teil von Accra. Accra hat sich aus den drei Küstenstädten Osu (Dänisch Accra oder Christiansborg), James Town (früher Britisch Accra) und Kinka (Holländisch Accra) gebildet, deshalb unterscheiden die Ghanaer zwischen Osu und Accra. Osu erstreckt sich an der Küste zwischen jenen Teilen von Accra, die früher oder Dutch Accra hießen, und La, das frühern auch genannt wurde. In den neuen Stadtteilen von Osu, an der Cantonment Road, die auch als „Oxford Street“ bekannt ist, konzentrieren sich sowohl Supermärkte als auch Restaurants und Nachtclubs. Die Distriktregierung von hat die Stadt in vier Einkommenszonen unterteilt, um den Grad der Armut und des Reichtums in den verschiedenen Stadtteilen zu ermitteln. Osu ist dabei in die zweithöchste von vier Einkommensklassen eingeordnet worden. (de)
  • Located about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) east of the central business district, Osu is a neighborhood in central Accra, Ghana; it's known for its vibrant commercial, restaurant and nightlife activity. It is locally known as the "West End" of Accra. Bounded to the south by the Gulf of Guinea, Osu's western boundary is the Independence Avenue. Ring Road separates Osu from the northern district of Labone. Owing to its establishment as a settlement around the Danish fort of Christiansborg in the 17th century, Osu offers a mix of houses dating from the early 20th century (both low-rise apartment blocks and detached houses) to modern office towers. Ringway Estates, a gated residential community between Gamel Abdul Nasser Avenue and Cantonments Road is located in the western section of Osu. The main thoroughfare, Cantonments Road (colloquially known as Oxford Street) features large supermarkets and appliance shops, and is renowned for its food joints and lively nightlife. At its southern end is the site of the 17th-century Fort Christiansborg, a former Danish colonial fort, which formerly housed the seat of government, and relocated to The Flagstaff House near the 37 Military Hospital after it was reconstructed by former president, John Kufuor.
