It encompasses the biosphere and the activities carried thereon. Kampala Capital City is enormously challenged in the areas of proper planning, land use management, sustainable use of resources, implementation of the said plans, ineffective law and political interference. This study therefore gives a clear picture of the inadequacies in the legal regime of sustainable land use management, highlights the different areas that need due attention for consideration, and suggests by way of recommendations that relate to undertaking the legal remedy in the attempt to achieve sustainable land use management in Kampala Capital City.
