Luluaburg is an important mining city in the southern Haut-Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), located near the Zambian border. As a regional economic center, its development relies mainly on the rich copper, cobalt and other mineral resources mining and processing industry.
Located in the heart of the Central African Copperbelt, Loulouabou historically emerged from the colonial era of mining development. The city is surrounded by mines and is one of the key mineral export hubs in the DRC, connecting Zambia to international markets by road and rail.
The economy is dominated by mining, with large copper and cobalt mines that have attracted investment from international mining companies. It is complemented by agriculture and trade, but regional development remains a challenge due to inadequate infrastructure.
The population is predominantly local and multicultural. The city's infrastructure is relatively basic, but has improved in recent years due to the mining industry. The interaction between local communities and mining companies has had a profound impact on social life patterns.
