The Zango housing Project in Luanda as a Case Study

This dissertation is a case study of the Zango social housing project in Luanda, the capital of the southern African state of Angola (see map 1). Through an examination of the Zango project, I seek to shed light on the workings of the Angolan state and the ways in which it sees and does development in order to provide insight into the nature, workings and possible outcomes of state-led development under non-democratic conditions.
