The Bright Future of Dar es Salaam, an Unlikely African Megacity
Once isolated and overlooked, Dar es Salaam is on track to become Africa's fastest-growing urban center.

In 1957, in the waning years of British colonial rule, the then-unremarkable port city of Dar es Salaam sat on the coast of present-day Tanzania. It boasted a meager population of 128,000. Its humidity was relentless. Africa's independence era was getting underway, and many of Dar's neighboring cities had far glitzier exteriors with more modern infrastructure. Maputo, the capital of Mozambique to the south, would become known as "The Pearl of the Indian Ocean." Nairobi, 560 miles north in Kenya, would be referred to as "The London of Africa." Dar es Salaam, meanwhile, struggled to shake the English translation of its name—"the residence of peace." Tranquil, yet stagnant.
But recent years have brought unimaginable growth and change to Dar es Salaam. In terms of annual population growth, it's on pace to be Africa's fastest growing urban center. Its total population—currently about 4.1 million people—is expected to expand by more than 85 percent through 2025, according to the African Development Bank, and could reach 21.4 million people by 2052. It's likely to achieve 'megacity' status—10 million residents or more—by the early 2030s.
(Journal of Sustainable Development)
To put that expansion in context: New York City added roughly 4 million residents over the past 100 years. Dar es Salaam will add 21 million over a similar span.
CityLab has written about sub-Saharan Africa's other mushrooming cities. Tanzania is already one of Africa's most populated nations. By 2020, according to the U.N., Africa will become the most rapidly urbanizing region of the world. Dar es Salaam is at the epicenter of a perfect storm of demographic change: A cosmopolitan city in a population-rich country amid unprecedented regional urbanization.
(African Development Bank)
In other ways, the rise of Dar es Salaam is remarkable. For decades, urban development was actively discouraged by the state. City life, and its perceived individualism, was viewed with contempt by many of the country's socialist ideologues.
During the two-decade rule of Tanzania's first president, Julius Nyerere, Tanzanians were encouraged—or forcibly sent, in extreme cases—to live and work in rural villages. Under the title ujamaa, meaning "socialism" in Swahili, the nationwide farming program became Nyerere's most ambitious social program (it was structured partially after policies in Maoist China). Still, Tanzanians continued to arrive in Dar es Salaam seeking a more prosperous future. This prompted the government to go even further to quash rural-to-urban migration. In 1974, Dar es Salaam was stripped of its title as the nation's capital, and the parliament was moved to Dodoma, a small city in the hinterlands. This was partly to encourage economic activity outside the coastal region, according to a 2011 thesis presented to the Holland-based University of Twente, but also, "to deviate the relentless population growth in Dar es Salaam."
1985 when Nyerere resigned as president. Autarkic isolation subsequently gave way to liberalization. Dar es Salaam opened up for global trade and Tanzanians eking out a life on unproductive farms could largely move to the city without fear of reproach. But the city's reputation had been severely damaged, says James R. Brennan, associate professor of history at the University of Illinois.
"It's a fact that [Dar es Salaam] artificially pulled itself out of the running of major cities for a good couple of decades," Brennan, who was recently in Dar es Salaam doing research, says. "That kind of helped the Addis Ababas and Nairobis of the world get so far ahead in terms of international reputations."
Nationally encouraged antagonism toward city life also led to more local consequences: There was little precedent for urban planning, Brennan says. As the deluge of people heading for Dar es Salaam picked up in the 1980s, the city found itself woefully unprepared to accommodate them.

Dar es Salaam sprawled dramatically. Much of this was due to the expansion of informal housing. According to the U.N., 70 percent of city residents today live in informal communities. And with the population projected to grow by tens of millions of people in coming decades, some anticipate far more informal housing.

Ukweli upi!? Mmejifungie kwenye mashimo kama panya!!. Nimewaambia mlete vitu vilivyipo Nairobi havipo Dar mnakodoa kodoa macho huku mkirudia rudia vitu. Ulishaambiwa kwamba jiji likiwa kwenye bahari lina benefits ya vitu vingi.
Unaleta majengo ya kikoloni yaliyojengwa na malkia Elizabeth. Hakuna majengo ya kisasa. Ndiyo maama miji ya kisasa inavutia sana kuliko miji ya kizamani. Nairobi ni old fashion city in Africa. Dar es salaam ni modern city.

Again you are wrong Annael na ya have a rigid mind. Kusema Nairobi has no modern buildings is false man. Kuna many highrise zimepostiwa hapa, na many are modern. CBD has old Kenyatta age na Moi age buildings, but mapya yanajengwa. Places like Upperhill na Westlands, new buildings mate. All those upcoming super tall ziko Upper Hill. What about the dozens of modern malls? Old??
Here are some of the things you guys dont have.

Ndiyo maana ninasema hujasoma thread. Pitia thread hapa uione. Yale unayoyafanya ni marudio.
Nakutaka ulete kitu kipo Nairobi, Dar es salaam hakipo. Acha kurudia rudia vitu vile vile. Kwa kukusaidia tu.
Nairobi kuna Slums Dar es salaam hakuna. Ongezea na mengine.
