Kampala is both the administrative and commercial capital city of Uganda situated on about 24 low hills that are surrounded by wetland valleys, characterized by an imprint of scattered unplanned settlements. This urban form is attributed to the dualism, which arose between the local Kibuga and Kampala Township or Municipality. The former was largely unplanned and unsanitary while the latter was fully planned and highly controlled. The emergency of slums in Kampala City has been gradual and sustained over a long period of time. It is attributed to the failure of Kampala Structure Plans to cater for the growth and development of African neighbours. Other factors that have contributed to this growth include: the rapid urban population growth, which has overwhelmed city authorities; land tenure systems which are complicated and multiple, together with poverty and low incomes amongst the urban population.
