Angola has 18 new towns (centralidades) with 40,419 homes

Story from Portal do Governo de Angola, 17 October 2026.

The government information cited points to 18 centralidades and 40,419 homes, with reference to about 2.42 million direct beneficiaries. The construction of new housing units in several provinces was also mentioned. These figures show the scale of public intervention in housing supply, although actual availability, occupancy, maintenance and affordability vary from project to project.

Opinion: My view is that judging a centralidade should go beyond the number of homes built. For residents, the distance to work and daily transport costs matter; for investors, real demand, the upkeep of the buildings, services and the ease of resale or letting matter. Housing expansion only creates lasting value when it comes with effective infrastructure and urban management.
