Synopsis

Challenges to Urban Democratic Governance in Zimbabwe is a result of a study on urban governance in Zimbabwe focusing particularly on local councils and how special interest councillors are appointed by the Minister responsible for local government.

The text investigates various different legislative instruments in order to present a normative framework on the best practices in democratic urban governance.
