A special feature of these tapering cruciform blocks is that
they provide a variety of room sizes, with larger rooms at the base
and smaller rooms at the upper levels. The shorter corridors on each
floor will make for a closer community spirit among tenants.
Site formation for the second stage of the estate is underway.
This phase of construction will include two 30-storey cruciform blocks
for about 17,500 people, one primary school, the rest of the commercial
centre, markets, garages and workshops. The whole estate is scheduled
to be completed by early 1979.
