Development Southern Africa, 1998, vol. 15, issue 1, 13-28

Abstract: This article reviews Zimbabwe's public sector urban low-income housing production system, in over one hundred years of urbanisation marked by changes in governments, political economies, ideologies and urban systems. By examining important features in organisation, construction, costing, finance and allocation, the study reveals that in essence. Zimbabwe's public sector housing production system has not changed significantly since the early years of urbanisation. The consistency and resilience of the more important features, both in the colonial and post-colonial eras, overshadow what changes there have been.
