1.0 FOCUS
Addis Ababa is in the middle of a construction boom with lots of construction fromskyscrapers to condors and roads. The city is growing rapidly in modernity compared to other African cities. The city is undergoing a major construction boom, where the skyline suddenly has more halfway-done high-rise buildings than ever before, and new hotels are being built at a breakneck speed. Hotels, shopping centres and office complexes rise from where small shacks once stood.Infrastructure is improving to support them. Tall, incomplete buildings are visible as far as the eye can see. In addition to the construction boom, many of its roads are being expanded and redone.
The new African Union headquarters, built on the ruins of a maximum security prison, is the centerpiece of the Chinese influence. Chinese investment in Addis Ababa is bolder than anywhere else in Africa.
Some people speculate that in some years to come, Addis will be the new Dubai of Africa, with eye catching architectural buildings – what with the structural transformation of the city, the skyscrapers going up; each with unique architectural designs. And it’s not just real estate that’s booming, but there is also the construction of a light rail around the city being carried out by a Chinese railway company, the likes of those found in European countries.
