Took a drive around Port Moresby this morning and here are more pictures of just a few of the many new buildings mushrooming all over the city.

Port Moresby's right now in the midst of an unprecedented building and construction boom.

  1. Hi Malum,

    I just love this piece of news! So uplifting on a Sunday afternoon. Really exciting developments in the city. Please provide some figures on employment figures. I'm curious to know if such a boom will benefit everyone from unskilled labourers to technocrats and ordinary PNG citizens through employment and job creation. I am also curious to know if the cost of accommodation is going to go down as more beds and living space become available as a direct result of this building boom.

    Thank you for the pics too.

    Cheers,
    Mari

  2. Hi Mari, indeed, a lot of exciting developments and jobs being createdm, however, the sad thing is that the average PNG worker can no longer afford a house. I'll be posting a story on that so keep watching.
