Neo-liberal urban development in post-colonial Zimbabweprivate developers and the emergence of Ruwa Town /[electronic resource] :by Terence Tapiwa Muzorewa. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2025. - xxiii, 218 p. :ill. (chiefly col.), digital ;24 cm.

CHAPTER ONE: RUWA AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN ZIMBABWE AT A GLIMPSE -- CHAPTER TWO: THE RISE OF PRIVATE LAND DEVELOPER COMPANIES IN RUWA -- CHAPTER THREE: CONTRIBUTION OF PRIVATE LAND DEVELOPERS IN RUWA -- CHAPTER FOUR: PRIVATE CAPITAL AND STAKEHOLDERS IN RUWA TOWN DEVELOPMENT -- CHAPTER FIVE: A COMPARISON OF PRIVATE AND PUBLIC-LED DEVELOPMENT IN RUWA -- CHAPTER SIX: PRIVATE LAND DEVELOPER COMPANIES-LED GROWTH IN RUWA.

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. Terence T. Muzorewa is a lecturer at the Midlands State University Department of Development Studies in Zimbabwe where he teaches various courses in Development Studies. He holds a Ph.D. in Development Studies, M.A. Development Studies, a B.A (hons) in History, and a postgraduate diploma in Tertiary Education. Terence has broad research interests in sustainable development, housing cooperatives, land, and the economic history of rural and urban development focusing on markets and private investment.
