  • Dar Es Salaam-Ch1.P65
    Chapter One The Emerging Metropolis: A history of Dar es Salaam, circa 1862-2000 James R. Brennan and Andrew Burton This chapter offers an overview history of Dar es Salaam. It proceeds chronologically from the town’s inception in the 1860s to its present-day status as one of the largest cities in Africa. Within this sequential structure are themes that resurface in later chapters. Dar es Salaam is above all a site of juxtaposition between the local, the national, and the cosmopolitan. Local struggles for authority between Shomvi and Zaramo, as well as Shomvi and Zaramo indigenes against upcountry immigrants, stand alongside racialized struggles between Africans and Indians for urban space, global struggles between Germany and Britain for military control, and national struggles between European colonial officials and African nationalists for political control. Not only do local, national, and cosmopolitan contexts reveal the layers of the town’s social cleavages, they also reveal the means and institutions of social and cultural belonging. Culturally Dar es Salaam represents a modern reformulation of the Swahili city. Indeed it might be argued that, partly due to the lack of dominant founding fathers and an established urban society pre- dating its rapid twentieth century growth, this late arrival on the East African coast is the contemporary exemplar of Swahili virtues of cosmopolitanism and cultural exchange. Older coastal cities of Mombasa and Zanzibar struggle to match Dar es Salaam in its diversity and, paradoxically, its high degree of social integration. Linguistically speaking, it is without doubt a Swahili city; one in which this language of nineteenth-century economic incorporation has flourished as a twentieth-century vehicle of social and cultural incorporation for migrants from the African interior as well as from the shores of the western Indian Ocean.

Specialization: Urban Planning and Management SUPERVISORS: Dr. Johannes Flacke Dr. Richard Sliuzas THESIS ASSESSMENT BOARD: Prof. Dr. Ir. M.F.A.M. van Maarseveen (Chair) MSc. Ms. Olena Dubovyk (External Examiner, University of Bonn) Dr. Johannes Flacke (1st Supervisor) Dr. Richard Sliuzas (2nd Supervisor) DISCLAIMER This document describes work undertaken as part of a programme of study at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation of the University of Twente. All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the Faculty. ABSTRACT Dar es Salaam has witnessed rapid urbanization abreast many challenges that informal settlements have become inevitable manifestation of it. Although these settlements are known for relentless growth - leapfrogging into the unplanned periphery, very little is known about the driving forces for their sustained expansion and densification. Investigation of key driving forces of informal settlement growth in the city by coupling the potentials of Geo-Information Science with logistic regression modelling technique is made. A list of probable drivers is prepared in consultation with literature and experts‟ opinion, where in parallel spatio–temporal pattern of informal settlement expansion, 1982-2002, and densification, 1992- 1998, was conducted.

  • Planning Ahead for Better Neighborhoods: Long Run
    Planning Ahead for Better Neighborhoods: Long Run Evidence from Tanzania Guy Michaels (LSE) Dzhamilya Nigmatulina (LSE) Ferdinand Rauch (Oxford) Tanner Regan (LSE) Neeraj Baruah (LSE) Amanda Dahlstrand-Rudin (LSE) February 16, 2018 Abstract Africa’s demand for urban housing is soaring, even as it faces a proliferation of slums. In this setting, can modest infrastructure investments in greenfield areas where people subsequently build their own homes lead to better quality neighborhoods in the long run? We study "Sites and Services" projects implemented in seven Tanzanian cities during the 1970s and 1980s, and we com- pare greenfield areas that received basic infrastructure investment (de novo areas) to geographi- cally proximate greenfield areas that did not (control areas). Using satellite images, surveys, and census data from the 2010s, we find that de novo areas developed into neighborhoods with much better housing quality. Specifically, de novo neighborhoods are more orderly and their buildings have larger footprint areas and are more likely to have multiple stories and better amenities, due not only to the persistence of initial investments but also to private complementary investments. We also document the role of sorting of owners and residents, which only partly accounts for the differences in housing quality across neighborhoods. Finally, we study initially squatted areas that were also upgraded as part of “Sites and Services”, and our descriptive evidence suggests that they are now if anything worse than the control areas. We conclude that preemptive infrastructure investments can lead to neighborhoods with significantly better housing in the long run. KEYWORDS: Urban Economics, Economic Development, Slums, Africa.
