dc.descriptionThe major divers of urban sprawl in Kampala were associated with the travel distance between workstation and residence. The study found that most respondents travelled a distance of between 11 kilometers and 20 Kilometers from their residence to their place of work because they preferred to stay away from the city because of pollution, stressful environment, and other associated problems; hence contributing to the urban sprawl of Kampala. Meanwhile, they also preferred not to reside in neighboring towns because that would cost them more than residing in suburban areas comparatively nearer to their workplaces in Kampala; hence the urban sprawl of Kampala.en_US
