As stated elsewhere in this handbook, Bulawayo is a college city with tens of thousands of university and college students. Unfortunately, the institutional housing available to these students is less than 10% of requirements. The province urgently needs student accommodation and all the institutions concerned are prepared to enter into agreements with investors for such developments, and both the local authority and central government will provide the required land.. Bulawayo Metro has limited private investment in school infrastructure. While government and the local authority are addressing these requirements, there are opportunities for investors to enter the fray and increase options especially for the suburban middle income constituency.
