AbstractPort Moresby is the capital of Papua New Guinea. With a population of nearly 200 000 it is by far the largest city in the country. Officially called the National Capital District (NCD), it straddles a low range of coastal hills in the south-east corner of the New Guinea mainland. It is a city facing serious problems today. A narrow economic base, a lack of land suitable for development and a deteriorating law and order situation are compounded by very rapid growth. The proposed construction of a transisland highway this decade, connecting Port Moresby to the populous interior, would have a profound impact on the future of the city.
