DAR ES SALAAM, Nov. 9 -- TANZANIAS rapidly expanding cities are facing mounting infrastructure challenges as population growth, urbanisation and changing weather patterns put increasing pressure on roads, drainage systems, water supplies and public services.

Dar es Salaam, the countrys commercial centre, illustrates the scale of the challenge. Recurrent flooding, inadequate stormwater drainage, unplanned settlements and pressure on water and sanitation infrastructure have exposed weaknesses in managing rapid urban growth.

The challenge extends beyond Dar es Salaam to cities such as Dodoma, Mwanza, Arusha, Mbeya and Morogoro, where increasing populations are driving demand for resilient infrastructure and reliable public services.
