Building the Just City in Tanzania: Essays on Urban Housing

This is a collection of articles authored by the Just City Platform (JCP) Tanzania Housing Working Group. The publication presents the history and status quo of the country’s housing sector. To facilitate the exchange on progressive housing policies and good practices for housing, the assessment is followed by policy recommendations.

“Building the Just City in Tanzania: Essays on Urban Housing” is a collection of articles authored by Albert Nyiti, Felician Komu, Maria Carrizosa, Tim Ndezi, Tatu Limbumba and Tumsifu Jonas Nnkya. In end-2021, these members of the Just City Platform (JCP) Tanzania – an inde­pendent, a multi-disciplinary coalition of academia, civil society organization and trade union members, as well as urban practitioners – came up with the idea to create a repository on housing in rapidly urbanizing Tanzania. The book highlights housing as a sensitive urban issue that calls for public participation and a multi-sectoral response. The publication which is guided by a political-economy approach seeks to kick-start debates for bold housing action as a central focus of Tanzania’s national agenda.
