Assessing Solid Waste Management in Kampala City, Uganda
About 2.01 billion tons of solid waste were produced in 2016 across the globe. And by 2050, the waste generated in various parts of the world would have increased by 70% due in part to the rapid growth of towns and cities. In addition, municipalities generate 40% of the waste and collect only 20% to 25%. Of equal importance, 75% to 80% of the waste generated in municipalities is disposed of in the open dumps.

This paper assessed walkability conditions and pedestrian perceptions in Jinja Central Business District in view of the region’s urbanisation trends and development. The study was evaluative in nature and employed a mixed methods research design.…

Physical planning is one way through which to kick-start this process. Convectional planning processes demand lengthy procedures which hardly bear immediate solutions given the inadequate capacity to prepare sustainable plans. The Ministry of Lands, Housing and…
