Tanzania’s growth and poverty reduction
aspirations hinge on shifting from a reliance on agriculture
toward greater productivity. Cities’ key role in generating
a more competitive economy is already apparent: in 2012,
just four Tanzanian cities produced more than half of the
country’s gross domestic product (GDP), and they are
expected to represent almost 60 percent of the country’s GDP
in 2030. Urban areas also account for the majority of the
country’s physical, financial, human, academic, and
technological capital. Cities are integral for shaping
Tanzania’s development, but what shape are cities in now and
where are they heading based on current trends? This report
analyses the state of Tanzania’s urbanization process and
the condition of its cities and institutions through the
lens of three main challenges that constrain the
contribution of Tanzania’s towns and cities to economic
diversification and growth, reduce their resilience to
shocks, and limit their livability and inclusivity. The
report then offers a set of recommendations to guide
policies and investments that will promote urban planning
for inclusive and resilient urban development, stronger
connections between cities and neighborhoods, and
institutions and financing mechanisms that are well placed
to scale up sustainable urban development. |
