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.
