A Runaway Economy Spikes the City’s Skyline
Papua Hotel, now the tallest building in Port Moresby
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea’s capital city has seen an increase in construction and building projects in recent years.
Driven by an economy that has grown by around 5 – 8% GDP per year for the last five years or so and predictions that this growth will not ebb for a few years to come, many firms and individuals have been busy with their projects.
In Port Moresby, the once ‘small town’ aspect of the city is rapidly changing as new landmarks are set to dominate the Port Moresby skyline for many years to come.
