  4. 18. Management with the People : An Enabling Approach to Neighbourhood Road Infrastructure Management in Kampala City

    Författare :Ian Senkatuka; Örjan Svane; Barnabas Nawangwe; Wilbard Kombe; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Urbanisation; Developing Country; Infrastructure; Neighbourhood Road; Management; Community Participation; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : Rapid urbanization occurring in many developing countries coupled with the constraints they are facing, has affected road infrastructure service delivery by public authorities charged with managing them. In Kampala City’s mixed income neighbourhood areas that have a disparity between neighbourhood community members, inadequate neighbourhood road management by Kampala City Council who are charged with managing these roads has led to neighbourhood roads that are in a poor state of disrepair, and do not meet many of the needs of their users.
