If you are not in position to distinguish slums FROM unplanned settlements, you better shut up your bowel.
Let us not start with this again....those are slums. Calling them unplanned settlements wont make them any better. They are an eyesore!!!

Sugar coating slums won't make them any better. Dar is slum is an embarrassment to Africa

I have been discussing this time and again, if you are not a professional you wont distinguish btn the two. le me give you a small exaple, for engineers they are distinguishing btn mass and weight but for other people who are not in the field they are see them to be used interchangebly. even the lawyers they see the different btn laws and regulations, but for the people who law learned fellows wont see the difference.
 
Jamaa_Mbishi kweli kweli.
 

But they are poor, seedy structures, dont u agree?

you can't call these neighborhoods slums if comprise properties wealth usd 1mio. mfano huwezi ita manzese ni slum wakati kuna nyumba zina wealth kes 50mio. at the same time a high speed and spontaneous gentrification is taking place over these areas.

Ati some buildings there are worth $1m? Haiyaaa!!!
Tuache tu hapo, tuconclude ya kwamba Dar haina mitaa mizuri na majumba ya makaazi mengi ni hafifu mno.

Nani anaweza akajenga nyumba ya 1mn$ maeneo kama hayo? Hata kama majumba kama hayo yapo humo, ukweli ni kwamba mengi ya makaazi 80-90% ni za maskini.
 

Nenda utembeee Dar na Tanzania kwa ujumla, hali ni tofauti kabisa na unavyofikiria. Usitegemee taarifa za hao wanoomba misaada kwa wazungu ili kendesha NGO zao. ukifika dar nenda makongo na sehemu yoyote ile ambayo haijapimwa uone jinsi ilivyo na mchanganyiko wa nyumba na makazi.
 
Acha ubishi, kubali yaishe. Nairobi mitaani waonaje?








Very good, however, this is the outskirt of Nairobi....we're talking about downtown Nairobi where Kibera is the main attraction and tourist flock there to take pictures of the slums and its dwellers.
