| Abstract: | The study of urban sprawl important because the aggressive emergency of dense urban settlements during the past five decades worldwide and in Uganda has ignited a growing debate regarding its costs and benefits in terms of labor productivity. The study contains five chapters. Chapter One is on introduction, Chapter Two on Literature Review, Chapter Three is on Methodology, Chapter four is on findings, and Chapter Five is on Conclusion and Recommendations. |
| Description: | The 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. |
