Angola is attracting investors, and it's the future. Their partners, Brasil and China, are also the future of world economy. They have their place now, this is good.

Incredible video. It's time Africa shined on the world stage, and Luanda is really emerging as a world class metropolitan city. This century belongs to Asia and Latin America, and Africa follows next! Congratulations Angola!

Angola is booming now, and it's not touched by the so called "world crisis". Angola, with Turkey, Brasil and other places is part of the future.

The economical crisi is over? Thank you, I'm so happy. Now Europe is starting to grow again.

Great city to party in! Lovely girls everywhere.

to fucking bad to have a modern city? And grow when in Europe everything seems to fail. Foreign investments are good and boost the economy.

It's amazing what can happen when the Chinese take control. Apparently soon there will be more Chinese in Angola than Angolese.

SA = South Africa.

The were no miracle in Angola, only racist laws on the majority of the population. The miracle was made from 2002 to 2013, and it keep happening, Angola grew of 6.7% yearly.

Show me a Portuguese city with sksycrapers on it, or is Portugal stuck in '50? This is 21th century, if you build a city you build it and in modern way and you can't take 10 years for a single building.

Ye second most expensive city in the world just show you were most of that money is goin

[jiliongmun]

You are delusional, even if racist apartheid SA invaded Angola they fought and they won. Then militias paid by Portugal came to destroy the lives of babies and women, but again Angola won.

Fix your country, and don't try to claim skyscrapers that Lisboa will never have.
