Title Land for Housing the Urban Poor in Tanzania: Solutions or Stop gap to the Housing Crisis of Urban poor to Tanzania?
 
Creator Kaare, Suma CM
 
Subject


 
Description For a long time it has been argued that the housing crisis of the poor in urban Tanzania requires an increased supply of land. The government in the past three decades has taken various measures intended to give land for housing to the urban poor. The measures have not achieved the intended objectives because housing remains a disturbing problem to the urban poor of Tanzania. This article explores the measures taken by the government and the reasons for their dismal performance. The article argues that the previous land strategies, well intended as they were, failed because they did not address the underlying cause which is income poverty.
