This study has been carried out in light of the implementation of the industrial dispersion policy of the Second Five Year Plan (1969-1974); which was tied to the growth centre strategy. The study has confined itself to Morogoro and Arusha towns only, but would have benefited more if all the nine towns designated as growth centres were considered. But limited time and funds forced the author to pick two towns. The methods used involved extraction of information in documentary sources. Because of paucity of data on industrialization and urbanization there has been heavy dependency on the few sources available. The data used was obtained in government statistical sources and in a survey in the respective towns. Also informal interviews and discussions were conducted. This study is divided into five sections: Chapter I has explored the background to the study giving the reader the problem area. Chapter II has explored the literature review and stated the working hypotheses. Chapters III and IV are the core chapters and have each analysed one hypothesis which have examined industrial and urban population growth respectively. Chapter V is the concluding chapter. Results have shown that both industrialization and urbanization have taken place with varying intensities. Industrialization has been seen to be taking place in the right direction and it has influenced urban growth by increasing their population. Finally the study recommends that more studies on the effect of industrialization on urban development should be carried out to enable the Government to formulate concrete industrial and urban development policy.enCities and townsPlanning in TanzaniaTanzaniaIndustrializationArusha regionEconomic conditions1945-1990Morogoro regionThesis
