Africa is one of the most dynamic continents. It will play a key
role in the coming decades in relation to the growth of cities, and
environmental conditions will be of primary importance. The
structural lack of water and sanitation infrastructure affects the
development of Africa's growing urban environments. This book
questions the relation between the wide-ranging fields of water and
the urban discipline in the Sub-Saharan African context. In
particular, it focuses on Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), a city where
rapid urbanisation and high annual growth have led to increasing
water demand and strained the water and sanitation systems. It
examines the spaces water produces, the actors promoting various
choices and solutions, the impact of different applied
technologies, and the diverse sanitary conditions, focusing on
their significance in the shape of the built environment and the
urban planning practices and theory. As water occupies and creates
spaces, this work tries to establish a relation among the spaces
and the structure of the city itself, using infrastructure in the
shape of networks that cross the city and on-site systems such as
boreholes and latrines, to be considered a hybrid and potentially
resilient system.
