Conclusion
• In spite of a severe economic crisis, we can witness a rather
substantial development in Tunari’s transportation infrastructure,
since mid. 2008.
• This development of transportation infrastructure - along
with Tunari’s given location – increases the attractiveness of the
locality as a preferred residential destination.

locality as a preferred residential destination.
• However, this aspect of development has to be put into the context
of a much needed improvement in the economy, in order that it
will eventually materialize in the real estate sector.
