Harare's Geographical and Administrative Role
Harare, the capital and largest city of Zimbabwe, is located in the north-eastern part of the country within the Mashonaland region. The city is positioned on a plateau at an elevation of 1,483 meters (4,865 feet) above sea level, which contributes to its subtropical highland climate. Harare is a significant hub for commerce, government, finance, real estate, manufacturing, healthcare, education, art, culture, tourism, agriculture, mining, and regional affairs. The city's metropolitan province includes the municipalities of Chitungwiza, Epworth, and Ruwa. 1
