Social media has become an integral part of daily life in urban Ghana, influencing various aspects of communication and social interaction. The study employs qualitative content analysis and discourse theory to analyse existing literature and case studies of social media use in Ghanaian cities. This theoretical framework highlights the role of social media as both a facilitator and disruptor of communication patterns in Ghanaian cities, necessitating further research to understand its long-term impacts on societal cohesion and cultural identity. Future studies should explore the implications of social media use for public health messaging and community-based initiatives in urban settings.
