"In ten years, surpass New Hamburg Port, in twenty years, catch up with Mbeya, and in thirty years, become the new Dar es Salaam."
"Work hard for fifty years, build a world-class international city."
"The economic bridgehead of the West, the future industrial city of East Africa."
......
On the streets of Luanda, these kinds of red slogans are everywhere. As the largest city on East Africa's west coast, Luanda City has the greatest ambition among several cities on the west coast.
In terms of geographical location, environmental climate, and transportation conditions, Luanda's conditions are no worse than those of Dar es Salaam City. The difference lies in that Dar es Salaam City was developed more than twenty years earlier than Luanda.
This timing naturally counts from when the two cities fell under East African rule. Without this factor, it's really hard to say which between Luanda and Dar es Salaam has better development levels.
