Abstract

The study aimed at investigating the threat slums in Kampala are posing to Uganda’s efforts geared towards her realization of Sustainable Development by the year 2030. A qualitative document review method was adopted and used to collect data relating to the cause of sustained slum growth and expansion in Kampala city and data relating to the threat these slums are posing to Uganda’s efforts geared towards her realization of sustainable development. Newspaper articles, government reports, academic text books, private individual, and organization research papers were among the electronic documents reviewed and used as a reference in this paper. To analyze the data, interpretive and analytical methods were applied. Study results revealed that the threat posed by slum growth and expansion in Kampala ranges from environmental degradation, increasing crime rates, and moral decay to worsening groundwater vulnerability to contamination.
