Dar es Salaam City, Tanzania, 2018
Dar es Salaam city is the commercial capital of Tanzania. It is located on the eastern part of the country, and with a population of 4 364 541 (official 2012 census), is the largest city in East Africa. Administratively, Dar es Salaam consists of five urban districts, namely: Ilala, Temeke, Kinondoni, Ubungo, and Kigamboni. The CBD is located in Ilala.
Spatially, the overall spatial form of the city is radial, emanating from a system of four major roads, i.e. Kilwa Road, Nyerere Road, Morogoro Road, and Bagamoyo Road, that radiate from the CBD and link the city with the hinterland. In terms of urban solids and voids, the city consists of predominantly high rise buildings with mushrooming modern skyscrapers in the CBD, with buildings of decreasing heights towards the periphery.
However, while the vertical urban plane is getting absolutely impressive with aesthetically appealing buildings that are innovative and even metaphorical particularly in the CBD, the horizontal urban plane leaves much to be desired. So far, there seems to be no serious urban design efforts and investments in urban space treatment or creation of new well designed and furnished public urban spaces like squares, plazas, pedestrianized shopping streets, paved walkways, treated pavements, parks, etc. This weakness of the city's spatial form seems to emanate from flawed urban design approach by which new individual buildings are inserted into existing urban fabrics without paying heed to the horizontal urban plane, hence giving priority to the vertical urban plane. But then, the horizontal urban plane is equally or probably most important spatial aspect of the city! Since time immemorial, greatness of cities has always emanated from the complexity and quality of their urban voids.
People's experience of the vertical urban plane is indirect, often aesthetical and reinforced mainly by spatial appearance, shape and size. Some aspects of the vertical urban plane like skyline may not even be fully accessible for experiencing from the ground level. People's experience of the horizontal urban plane, however, is direct. While it can also be aesthetical, it is mainly social and economical. It is on the horizontal urban plane where people walk, sit, work, eat, play, rest, communicate, etc. The functional roles of the horizontal urban plane are mainly reinforced by the types, construction quality, and spatial organisation of urban space outfitting as well as the material used for such outfitting.
Finally but not least, Dar es Salaam city offers ample facilities and services that include: an international airport that is currently undergoing massive expansion; several universities and institutes; world class hotels including top brand hotels like Hyatt Regency, Hilton, Ramada, and Golden Tullip; great restaurants and night clubs; banks; hospitals; world class football stadium; and golf ground.
This 2018 photo video about the city is richer than its predecessors, covering more aspects of the city including new infrastructure like roads and bridges, shopping centres and malls, hotels and leisure resorts, sports facilities like stadia, modern apartments and houses, universities, social life like urban space use, etc.

Nairobi ilitajwa tokea kitambo kuwa ni jiji lililoendelea Afrika Mashariki, ila cha ajabu hadi leo hawajabadilisha. Kwa hiyo wakenya fungukeni, Tz tumewapita hasa kwa hili jiji la Dar, Kama wakichunguza tena miji iliyoendelea Afrika 2020/21 Dar itaibuka kidedea Afrika Mashariki......

Nchi yoyote mvua ikinyesha panageuka bwawa hivyo acha fikra potofu niko Oman na mvua huku ikinyesha ni kitu cha ajabu sana kwao wanatoka nje kuiangalia na panajaa maji sana tu sema kwakuwa ni nchi za weupe basi Africa tunajidharau.
