Kalingalinga
Kalingalinga is a densely populated district in Lusaka, Zambia, known for its low-income residential status. It developed as an informal settlement in the mid-20th century, accommodating families moving from rural areas in search of better opportunities. Today, Kalingalinga reflects the broader urban challenges of Lusaka, characterized by high population density and limited infrastructure, yet it remains a vital part of the city's vibrant community.
