| dc.description.abstract | The problems that are associated with urban life
are basically those of lack of housing, unemployment
and inadequacy in the supply and distribution of the
essential facilities and service to match the town
population. Such problems have been agqravated due to
the influx of population fr the rural to the urban
areas, resulting in over usage or misusage of the
facilitie provided for by the population that had
been living or that had been planned for in the urban
area.
This study has examined the successes that have
been achieved in ujamaa villages in rural Tanzania
through the country' policy of socialism and self
reliance, that is the ujamaa concept. The study
ha established that the application of t.he ujamaa
concept in the planning of urban neighbourhood has
wide scope only that the heterogenous nature of the
urban population makes it difficult. to apply the
concept. smoothly as has been done in the rural areas
here the people usually originate from single cultural
and ethnic backgrounds. | en |
