Harare: City report

The ACRC report on Harare's urban development examines the intricate political landscape shaping the city's growth and challenges. The report synthesises research from within the city, highlighting how Harare's political settlement influences its urban systems, leading to significant infrastructure collapse and socio-economic challenges over the past two decades. It explores four key urban development domains informal settlements, land and connectivity, neighbourhood and district economic development, and structural transformation underscoring the pivotal role of informality and the need for politically informed strategies to address the city's complex issues.

The research advocates for collaborative efforts between local and national authorities to foster transformative urban progress amidst a backdrop of the following: 

• Political,
• Economic
• Infrastructural constraints
