dc.description.abstractThis paper is based on a field study of the neighbourhoods of Makerere University Main Campus since the liberalization of the higher education sector in Uganda (1990-2010). The background to the study was the apparent urban transformation that has occurred in the environs of Makerere University campus in areas that were formally informal settlements characterized by shanty-town conditions. The problem under study was the apparent ‘re-informalisation’ (moving from informal to some kind of formalization and yet returning to an informality situation) of the neighbourhoods of Makerere University main campus. The main objective of the study was to explore the link between the liberalization of the higher education sector in Uganda, a policy which allowed private sponsorship of students at public universities, and the rapid transformation of these environs, as well as the urban and architectural character of that transformation. The study was conducted through physical field observations and study of archival documents, including photographic records and maps. Key person interviews were also conducted with technocrats in Kampala City Council, architects and planners. The study revealed a direct connection between the policy of liberalization of the higher education sector in Uganda and the rapid transformation of Makerere’s neighbourhoods. The urban and architectural transformation of these neighbourhoods was found to be eclectic in nature and devoid of any consideration of the urban typologies that characterise the City of Kampala.en_US
