ResumoLocal authorities are widely regarded as catalysts accelerating localised processes of economic development in industrialised countries but in low-income countries they are perceived as dysfunctional, inefficient and ineffective in meeting and addressing societal demands. This perception is not, however, grounded in empirical reality. As such, utilising the case of the metropolis of Chegutu a survey was designed to empirically explicate the economic processes supporting its economic development. The findings are useful to policy-makers, local government authorities and management scholars. The study's unique contribution lies in its examination of the processes of local economic development in a low-income country.
