Lilongwe
Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi; 1.07 million inbd (2015). To support a more equitable regional development in the country, Lilongwe in the middle of the country in 1975 was designated as the capital rather than Zomba further south. The city consists of the old parts with markets and Asian owned shops and the new capital Hill town with government offices, embassies and university. However, it took some time before the city came to function as a real metropolis, neither in terms of economy, business or housing, but now (2015) the city is growing rapidly – approximately 4.3% per annum. The Constitution of 1994 does not designate a capital; However, Lilongwe is the center of legislative power and financial life, and in 2005 the last government offices moved to the city.
