Uganda’s total population is projected to increase to 61 million by 2040 in the rations of 37million (60%) to 24million (40%) in the Urban to rural areas respectively. Due to population expansion, Kampala as any other urban area is facing the problems of unplanned rapid growth such as: congestion, unplanned slums amongst others. The Kampala Physical Development Plan pointed out the need to develop new satellite eco-towns in the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area of Ssisa and Mpatta to contain population explosion and reduce on the problems being experienced in the city. However, the exact location of the eco-towns in Ssisa and Mpatta isn’t known. Based on literature review, surveys and images analysis coupled with the Analytical Hierarchy Process method, the research sought to determine the actual sites. Through a comprehensive evaluation for the new towns, sites selected were those densely located with relatively high scored cells
