It is not the only tower undergoing development in Nairobi. There arr dozens more, of which this one happens to be the tallest, by far.

Look at this report, it says that 25% of the skyscrapers undergoing construction in Africa arr in Kenya.

That's a situation in Dar. Your neighbor could possess a high quality two storeys building. The areas normally consist a mixture of properties with different values from the low, middle to high valued. For this case you can term the areas as slums, but unplanned settlements.

So much of Dar consists of such settlements- the unplanned settlements whereby the rich and the poor live side by side, it is not zoned like in Nairobi whereby we have the neighborhoods for the affluent, the high income group, middle income group, lower middle income group and the lower income group (the poor)?

Ofcos we are proud of tge fact that we arr ranking among the top just like u guys are take pridee at being at the very top. What is wrong with that?

U were livid when the Nigerians were celebrating overtaking your country as the biggest economy in the continent, we saw how u guys lambasted them on Nairaland. Are u not here mocking and disparaging Kenya cos of those two reports placing Kenya ahead of SA in terms investments and rapid infrastructure growth?

By the way, Kenya has the fastest internet speed in the continent, ahead of SA. We arr proud of that.

Bullies...arrogant, is the proper word to describe your attitude, I understand that there is a cross- section of your pipo who do not consider SA as part of Africa, and would wish the country's completely dissociated from the rest of the poor, politically and economically dysfunctional continent.

Anybody celebrating your current political and economic turmoils seriously need to havr their head checked. Our countries would take years to attain the same level of economic success and living standards, even if it were to remain stagnant for a decade.

Soweto is such an awesome place, one place I would like to see in case I will ever get the opportunity to visit SA. But there slums, really bad slums in SA and the cities accross the country.

Thanks you so much for understanding. It's my hope that you'll be keep on keeping on bringing to their attention how unplanned settlements of Dar differ with that of Nairobi, and of course a distinction between unplanned settlements and slums.

One building? Really? Nah, that's sinking to quite a perplexing low.

The slum upgradement project in Soweto was a relative success, So was the Kibera one, less so though. But Soweto is a huge township, a whooping 200sqkm! There are (a few) shacks in Soweto. Though from what I saw, about 80% of Soweto is low income urban housings with basically all amenities. It's khayelitsha, in the cape of good hope that's really eerie.

So in short Dar is a huge unplanned settlement all over save the CBD whereas Nairobi has developed world standard districts juxtaposed with some of the ugliest shanty towns on earth. Thing is the latter cover only 6% of the city

Where you are. This is why Nairobi posses the worst slums on earth. The slums are badly populated with fully of delapilated huts
 
very bad, but not the very worst slums on earth. You been to makoko in Nigeria? or seen the Indian and Nepal ones?

And you surprisingly talk as if dar has no slums. They aren't as big as Nairobi ones because of the zoning system of Dar es Salaam, or rather the lack of. But small as they are, they're no better than Kibera aesthetically
