Urban planning in Tanzania has focused mainly on economic development.The Tanzanian govment prioritizes large-scale mod projects to increase national income and propel world-class urban settlements.Dares Salaam,Tanzania’s largest city and main commercial center has experienced remarkable urban development.Unfortunately,its growth has not been consistent with the master plans,which also overlook sustainable urban development aspects.The high urbanization rate has exacerbated the degradation of the city’s environment,including roadside air quality,solid waste,and water quality.The city’s ongoing environmental dilapidation has led to a call for a sustainable urbanization to curb past urbanization problems and implement a sustainable future.This work reviews Dares Salaam’s available planning documents and examines how master plans can stimulate sustainable urban development.Findings suggest that master plans should not be used as a mere urban growth control tool.Master plans that are designed and conceptualized as a comprehensive strategy and integrated with different aspects of urban development can play a key role in enforcing sustainable urban development for the city.
