Access to land by the urban poor in Tanzania: Some findings from Dar es Salaam

PO Box 35176, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Tel: 75004 / 71264/ 71847; Fax: (255) 51 75448/75479.

This paper considers how low-income households and communities in Dar es Salaam have obtained access to land. The paper begins with an analysis of urban land policy in Tanzania, drawing the distinction between planned and unplanned areas. After a consideration of poverty in Tanzania and a brief historical review of urban land allocation, the paper reports on a study carried out in Dar es Salaam in 1993 to better understand the relationship between poverty, housing and access to land.
