This study was carried out in a period of one year. In this period the study explored, literature on urban transformations, legibility and on the relationship between the urban transformations and legibility. From this literature the study deduced the following; (i) Urban transformation and legibility studies base on physical form of an urban setting (ii) Urban morphology study is an appropriate approach to studying and analyzing urban transformations that may affect legibility of a setting (iii) Legibility of an urban setting, depends much on the qualities embodied in its five elements of image, which get lost whenever the setting undergoes transformation. Further the study employed a case study method in Kariakoo area in Dar es Salaam. The main findings arc (i) Kariakoo urban setting is made up of all elements of image (ii) the elements of image of this area, undergo transformations (iii) the qualities of the elements of image of Kariakoo arc eroded thereby changing the state of its legibility. From these findings, the study concludes by saying that the transformation of elements of image of Kariakoo, results into both, strengthening of some image elements and weakening of others. Therefore the legibility of this area is vi impacted both negatively and positively, though to a greater extent negative ones are most strong. This study therefore recommends that, the government should intervene to the process of transformation taking place in Kariakoo. litis may be through its professionals to formulate control guidelines that will guide the development of this area focusing on making it legible. The study also proposes some ways that can be used to make the area legible. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION....................................................................................................

  • Water Access and Distribution in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
    From Public Pipes to Private Hands Water Access and Distribution in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Marianne Kjellén Department of Human Geography Stockholm University 2006 Abstract In cities around the world, public water systems have increasingly come to be operated by private companies. Along with an internationally funded investment program to refurbish the dilapidated water infrastructure, private operations were tested also in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Only about a third of the households, however, are reached by the piped water system; most households purchase water from those with pipe-connections or private boreholes. Thus, water distribution was informally privatized by way of water vending long before formal private sector participation began. This thesis explores individual and collective endeavors in water development, distribution, and access, along with the global and local influences that shaped the privatization exercise. With regard to the lease of Dar es Salaam’s water system, the institutional set-up has been found to mix the British and French models, having influenced the local situation through development assistance and conditionalities tied to loans. The institutional contradictions may have contributed to the conflictive cancellation of the lease arrangement. Due to the public utility company’s lack of operating capital and investment planning, infrastructure development has responded mainly to immediate individual demands, resulting in a spaghetti-like network and structural leakage. The long-standing under-performance and low coverage of the piped water system have forced many people to devise their own ways to access water. This thesis argues that the individually devised artisan ways of water provisioning constitute the lifeline of Dar es Salaam’s water system.

  • Facilitating Inclusion, Organization, and Rights for Street Vendors Ilona
    WIDER Working Paper 2021/53 Towards sustainable livelihoods in the Tanzanian informal economy Facilitating inclusion, organization, and rights for street vendors Ilona Steiler1 and Chediel Nyirenda2 March 2021 In partnership with This publication results from Sustainable development solutions for Tanzania—strengthening research to achieve SDGs, a collaborative project between the UONGOZI Institute in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and UNU-WIDER in Helsinki, Finland, with a main research objective of informing the development and implementation of policies aiming for economic transformation and sustainable development in Tanzania and the East African region. With financial support provided by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, the joint project was launched in 2018 with key research questions giving the partners a framework for collaboration and the research work to be undertaken. The project focuses on macroeconomic perspectives, domestic resource mobilization, extractives, industrialization, sustainable livelihoods, and gender as a cross-cutting issue. The project provides local stakeholders a platform for research and policy discussions on Tanzania and bridges these discussions to the regional and international development debate. About UONGOZI Institute ‘Uongozi’ means leadership in Kiswahili, and inspiring and strengthening leadership is the core purpose of our organisation. UONGOZI Institute is dedicated to supporting African leaders to attain sustainable development for their nations and for Africa.

  • 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.

Investigating the Intra-urban Inequality and Environmental injustices on Urban deprivation in Dar es salaam city - Tanzania Abstract Spatial indicators of inequality, rather than simply poverty, and environmental injustices are two essential tools for today’s urban policy makers and planners (UNHSP, 2004 pp. 86). Most research on urban deprivation in Sub-Saharan Africa has been based on monetary indicators (income and consumption).

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.
