Rubbish apartments rated minimum 800$ just because of luck of decent housing while demand keep on rocketing!
I think this project will have a positive impact in house rental in Kinshasa in a sense that a big deal of “Big Shots” will move to the new city which will result in decreasing slightly the rental rates in old town and ultimately make room for people like “Me”
Just imagine the number of tourists you guys will make and subsequent economic impact…I hope I make sense.
NKAZI MAWOKO, JUVENAL MOGUMBI!

At least we’ll be proud of how lovely our city will look. The rules apply everywhere, not every french can afford to live in 16 arrondissement, not every londoner can afford to live in Central London. We see many new yorkers in places like brooklyn and Queens but not in Manhattan. So you lot need to chill and let’s all back this project..

Definitely the average Congolese will not afford to buy a lot in the new city. However, not only that it will change the image of Kinshasa, as some have just mentioned above, but it will also invite people to invest in the country. other new projects may come along.

They are just building something that belongs to the Congolese people. Plus I think it will bring some sort of economic development to the country. RDC stand up

It won’t be accessible to everybody though. The lowest cost for a house there is about a million dollars

It is very stupid to make pessimistic comments about this new city. Do you want Congo to carry on looking like a dustbin? I think it is time to see this sort of projects in this immence country. With such projects, people would no longer be wasting money to buy properties abroad. Go on my friends, this is a great project! It is not about who will be living there! Because even today, not every one lives in Gombe or Ma Campagne. The same should be true for the Cite du fleuve. We need modernism; we need a place with good security! Well done guys! Kinshasa Oye!

How many of you would visit Kinshasa or, God forbid, choose to live there? This is exactly the kind of development needed for growth in Africa. It may surprise you but the majority of investors will probably not be walking around in pith helmets and monocles. The comment about “neocolonial past” is far more racist than it accuses the project of being. Grow up.

Kinshasa is a dump. even if no Kinois gets to live in the cite du fleuve at least it will make Kishasa look presentable.

this is a sign of development, even if no congolese gets to live there this time, in the future they will.

right now any congolese should be ashamed of showing people picture of kinshasa, but after this kinshasa will look more like a place human can live
