In the year 2008 the government of Tanzania through the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Development –MLHHSD, started a new city project at Kigamboni area in Temeke district in Dar es Salaam region. Ideally the project is expected to generate significant social and economic benefits to the people of Kigamboni and a potential site for urban expansion of Dar es Salaam city. Implementation of the project is categorized into three phases from 2011 to 2020; 2021 – 2025 and 2026 to 2030 respectively.

The New Kigamboni City Master Plan Report base on 6 main objects:-

First, the Ministry of Lands, Housing & Human Settlements Development decision to establish a new satellite city – one with its own identity but linked to Dar –es-Salaam city via Kigamboni bridge, and able to accommodate more than 500,000 people by 2030.

Second, the Master Plan concept is based on the current development status of Kigamboni as a planning area, hence the need to resettle its people and properties in order to implement new plans.

Third, due to the expansion of economic activities, Dar Es Salaam is expanding faster. In the coming few years, it is expected to expand even more and economic activities will increase. Especially, Kigamboni, the site area has a strong presence with large tracks of good and unexploited land so there is a need to achieve sustainable development and to promote economic growth of the new planned city taking into account the industrial sector of Dar-es-Salaam, the port and socio-economic activities of the proposed new city.

The fourth basis for the Master Plan‘s conception is the fact that the new proposed city is an Eco-City which is intended to exploit the available Kigamboni natural resources in a sustainable manner.

The fifth object which stands as a basis for the Master Plan conception is the fact that the new city and Dar-es-salaam will need to play a major role as the eastern gateway to Tanzania and the rest of African countries in terms of tourism and transport development.

Finally, the Master Plan was conceived on the basis of the need to support and encourage social interactions of the people of Kigamboni through the new city structures and the community infrastructures to be developed.
The New Kigamboni City‘s Master Plan has envisaged a comprehensive land use development policy of the city through creation of zones. Through the zoning policy, five zones have been created, namely:
• International Business Zone
It is located at a place where it can secure a special connection over wide area, so as to maximize ripple effect. It consists of 4 districts: business, central government, central commercial, and administrative.
• Industrial Zone
This zone includes research facilities, medical centres, and industries that will allow important commercial and international exchange. It is a site where employment opportunities will emerge and carter the needs of its residence.
• Tourism Zone
This is a base of tourism. It is located along the north with magnificent coastline of beaches, resorts, marine resources and islands.
• Residential Zone
This is a community area built with houses and apartments that will accommodate more than 50,000 people by 2030. It consists of 3 to 4 neighbourhoods arranged in series of communication.
• Public facility Zone.
This zone will include open spaces, public parks, amusement centres, recreation centres, drainage systems and other social amenities.

Development activities in these zones must be done in accordance with specific guidelines relevant for each zone. However the current status of the Kigamboni Project is that it is still at its infant stage. It is also estimated a total number of houses are going to be built in the Kigamboni project area are 83,400.

The New Kigamboni city holds a total of 64,944,000m² having 4 districts: Kibada, Vijibweni, Somangira and Mjimwema. The Minister for Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Development, Mr William Lukuvi recently has urged land owners to sell their land at the market price and buyers to develop them as per project requirement.
