This chapter explores this issue in the context of the changing political context in Angola. This study focuses on the relationships between income generation and neighbourhood improvements in the un-serviced low-income settlements (musseques) of Kilamba Kiaxi, one of the nine municipalities that make up the Province of Luanda, the capital city of Angola. The objective is to gain anunderst anding of the dynamics that govern the relationship between financial and physical assets at the household, neighbourhood and municipal levels.
