dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: The spatial growth of irregular settlements in cities of less developed countries reflects increasing disparities in the distribution of wealth and resources. 25-70% of the urban population in African countries is living in irregular settlements, squatter settlements, unauthorised land development, rooms and flats of dilapidated buildings in city centre (Lasserve & Royston 2002). Even though massive destruction operations like Murambatsvina are being carried out in these African countries to mention just a few Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Malawi. These illegal structures are still mushrooming in African countries. This study seeks to find the underlying factors behind the continued resurfacing of these illegal dwellings in Mbare Harare. The study also looked at how migration and urbanisation determine the processes and affects informality in Zimbabwean.en_ZA
