Eating cities: urban management and markets in Kampala
AbstractIn the name of ‘improving urban management’, international donors have supported many state-centred projects promoting ‘institutional development’ and ‘capacity building’. In this article I argue that ‘urban management’ is unable to make significant progress because local power struggles often subvert and reshape key issues of urban management. This ‘politics of survival’ makes the allocation of resources and the management of urban services into politically contentious issues which are important in understanding how a city works and what is possible. To illustrate the point, urban management and service delivery in regulation of food markets in Kampala, Uganda is examined.
