This book investigates the role of private land developers in the development of Ruwa Town in post-colonial Zimbabwe. Whereas other post-colonial established towns in the country emerged from direct public investment through the Growth Point policy, Ruwa emerged from a public-private partnership approach. The development of Ruwa Town is therefore a valuable example of a new post-colonial experience in urban planning and development, which is a clear departure from the colonial town planning which was premised on racial segregation. This book offers unique insights into the historical context, the role of private developers in the growth of the city, the impact of their involvement, bringing a comparative analysis with state-led development. It offers a valuable contribution to the field of urban studies, particularly within the context of urban development in post-colonial Zimbabwe and in Africa.
