sites at the expense of study time. This research paper looked at; Identif~,’ cultural
development strategies and urban revitalization in Kampala City; to analyze urban tourism as
an economic, social, spatial and cultural phenomenon; To develop a multidisciplinary
framework for urban tourism studies consisting of analysis on urban regeneration, city
marketing and city branding and impacts of urban tourism in Kampala. The study focused on
three respondents i.e. students, parents and teachers and used questionnaire and interviews as
tools of study. The findings of this study shed insight on some recent urban regeneration

a decision by a high court (Council of State). City branding and marketing strategies are
easily worn out and there is a need for new strategies. This means that research on urban
tourism together with urban development requires constant updating. Since we cannot stop
here, it is the author’s hope that the framework introduced in this research report will inspire
further research on the relationship between urban tourism and urban development.
