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.
