In this chapter, the book discusses the role played by private developers and private capital in developing Ruwa. It starts by analysing the land development permit which provided rules and regulations guiding the partnership between the Ruwa Local Authority and private developers. The permit was linked to the Regional, Town and Country Planning Act of 1976, which regulated and controlled the operations of private developers in Ruwa and protected public interest by making it mandatory for the companies to facilitate the development of public infrastructure as stipulated by the permit. The chapter argues that the land development permit empowered the Ruwa Local Authority to control PLDCs’ activities by investing in it the legal mandate to inspect and approve PLDCs’ infrastructure development projects. After receiving the land development permits from the Authority, the developer companies played an important role in the establishment and development of residential parks, commercial centres, and industrial areas in the town. They were responsible for the setting up of public amenities and infrastructure, which include schools, hospitals, and recreational facilities in all the areas under their jurisdiction. They also built offsite and onsite infrastructures such as roads, water, and sewerage reticulation systems. The chapter put in context the applicability of the neo-liberal approach to urban development and the private-public partnership approach.
