22、erty they cannot sell.Perched in an isolated spot some 30 km (18 miles) outside Angolas capital, Luanda, Nova Cidade de Kilamba is a brand-new mixed residential development of 750 eight-storey apartment buildings, a dozen schools and more than 100 retail units.Designed to house up to half a million
23、people when complete, Kilamba has been built by the state-owned China International Trust and Investment Corporation (CITIC) in under three years at a reported cost of $3.5 bn (2.2 bn).Spanning 5,000 hectares (12,355 acres), the development is the largest of several new “satellite cities“ being cons
24、tructed by Chinese firms around Angola, and it is believed to be one of the largest new-built projects on the continent.The jewel in Angolas post-war reconstruction crown, Kilamba is the star of glossy government promotional videos which show smiling families enjoying a new style of living away from
25、 the dust and contusion of central Luanda where millions live in sprawling slums. But the people in these films are only actors, and despite all the hype, nearly a year since the first batch of 2,800 apartments went on sale, only 220 have been sold.When you visit Kilamba, you cannot help but wonder
26、if even a third of those buyers have moved in yet. The place is eerily quiet, voices bouncing off all the fresh concrete and wide-open tarred roads. There are hardly any cars and even fewer people, just dozens of repetitive rows of multi-coloured apartment buildings, their shutters sealed and their
27、balconies empty.

28、rt from Chinese laborers, many of whom appear to live in containers next to the site, I came across a tiny pocket of life at a school.

30、an the other city, theres no criminality.“ But when I asked if he and his family would move there, he just laughed. “No way, we cant afford this. Its impossible. And there is no work for my parents here,“ he said. His sentiments were echoed by Jack Franciso, 32, who started work at Kilamba as a stre
31、et sweeper four months ago. “Yes, its a nice place for sure,“ he said. But then he sighed: “To live here, you need a lot of money. People like us dont have money like that to be able to live here.“ And therein lies the problem. Apartments at Kilamba are being advertised online costing between $120,0
32、00 and $200,000well out of reach of the estimated two-thirds of Angolans who live on less than $2 a day. However, Paulo Cascao, general Manager at Delta Imobiliaria, the real estate agency handling the sales, told the BBC that the problem was not the price, but difficulty in accessing bank credit. “
33、The prices are correct for the quality of the apartments and for all the conditions that the city can offer,“ he said. “The sales are going slowly due to the difficulty in obtaining mortgages.“A new legal flame work has recently been introduced to allow local banks to give mortgages, but for the maj
34、ority of Angolans, even the few with well-paid office jobs, just finding enough cash for a deposit would be a struggle.“The government needs to start giving priority to building low-cost housing because great majority of the population live in shacks with no water, electricity or sanitation,“ Elias
35、Isaac, country director at the Angolan Office of the Open Society Initiative for South African (OSISA), told the BBC.“There is no middle class in Angola, just the very poor and the very rich, and so there is no one to buy these sorts of houses.“（分数：10.00）(1).The phrase “ghost town“ in Paragraph 1 me
