| dc.description.abstract | although the urban planning law prohibits the carrying out of any development, house construction inclusive, in planning areas without planning consent, many urban areas in Tanzania have unplanned residences. Such is the main problem of this study. By using Dar es Salaam and Mwanza Cities as case studies, the study examines legal and institutional challenges and issues concerning urban land use planning generally and residential housing in particular. The study proceeded under the hypothesis that the current urban land use planning legal and institutional framework has failed to mitigate the problem of unplanned residences because of the unresponsive nature of planning processes, laxity in law enforcement, and poor coordination and cooperation among different responsible actors. The study has established that, indeed, the urban land use planning processes are not responsive to and legally capable of meeting an increasing variety of demands for planned urban residential housing in Tanzania. There are also institutional problems with regard to finance, cooperation and coordination, law enforcement and personnel. The study recommends the following: law reforms, proactive planning, control of rural urban migration, formulation of urban land use planning policy, pro-poor housing initiatives, regulation of land markets, operationalization of the land compensation fund, coordination, and political will and commitment. | en_US |
