Gwembe (Kabwe), the capital of Zambia's Central Province, is located in the south-central part of the country, about 150 kilometers north of Lusaka, and is an important mining city and transportation hub in Zambia. Originally known as "Broken Hill" (Broken Hill), the city emerged from the discovery of rich lead and zinc deposits in the early 20th century, and was once one of Africa's leading mineral bases, with mining still being a pillar of the local economy. With a population of around 500,000, Gwembe is the fourth most populous city in Zambia, known for its multicultural community and relatively low cost of living. However, long-term mining activities have resulted in serious lead pollution and environmental remediation has become an important issue for local development. As a railroad node connecting Lusaka to the Copperbelt Province, Gwembe plays a key role in Zambia's domestic logistics, and in recent years has been actively promoting the development of the agricultural and service sectors and exploring ways to diversify its economy.
