| Summary, etc | Cities in Africa are experiencing fast urbanization with growing demand for basic services. The city of<br/>Dar es Salam, one of the fastest growing cities in the region and the world, is likely to guide the urban<br/>future in Tanzania. Dar es Salaam is the former capital city of Tanzania and retains its importance as<br/>most of the government offices were located. However, the whole process of complete relocation of<br/>government offices to the present capital city of Dodoma might affect the dynamics in Dar es Salaam<br/>in the near future. Nevertheless, it is the leading commercial centre and economic hub in Tanzania<br/>and is expected to be a mega city by 2030. The growth of the city is construed by both natural<br/>increase and high rate of migration. However, the city’s organic growth was affected by racial-based<br/>residential segregation under the colonial regime, whose imprints are evident to date. In this profile,<br/>an overview of Dar es Salaam’s colonial, post-colonial, social, economic and location factors that led<br/>to urbanization is provided. This profile highlights the previous, current and future challenges, and<br/>explores the pathways to enhance sustainability and transformation of Dar es Salaam to be a smart city.<br/>Poor implementation of master plans led to minimal guidance of city growth, but the current land and<br/>and human settlement policy emphasizes on sustainable approach in urban planning including low costs<br/>but sustainable settlements even for the urban poor. Such transformation requires government and city<br/>management to invest in better planning implementation, creation of database that will inform future<br/>planning, improvement in social services such as infrastructure, access to quality and affordable housing,<br/>water and electricity supply. This paper contributes to the existing literature on nature of cities in<br/>developing countries, which had been affected by colonialism and poor implementation of policies, and<br/>suggest ways in which cities can to become smarter and sustainable. |
