Major Investments in Lüderitz Contrast with Housing Challenges in Sande
What happened
Lüderitz is attracting major investments in oil, gas, green hydrogen, and port infrastructure. However, residents of the informal settlement Sande on the outskirts of the city face increasing difficulties. Property prices and rental costs in Lüderitz have risen, making land acquisition harder for long-term residents.

Why it matters
The influx of major investments in Lüderitz could boost the national economy of Namibia through foreign direct investment in the oil and gas sector. Meanwhile, the rising costs associated with the development might challenge the ability of ordinary residents to access housing and benefit directly from the projects.
