Abstract
This study aims at using spatial data to investigate and analyze the temporal spatial growth of the city of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and quantify its relationship to transportation growth. The study will focus on the period from 1945 to 2012 and will use population and economic growth as parameters. The findings of this study show that there is a mutual relationship between Dar es Salaam’s urban growth, population, economy, and transportation. It found that transportation demand and infrastructure growth coincided with population growth; however, Dar es Salaam’s urban spatial expansion and residential area growth have been affected by transportation demand and infrastructure growth. It also found that enormous spatial expansion has caused dramatic changes in the daily share of travel modes and that these disparities have occurred in relation to urban growth and transport. Development initiatives and policies over time have not successfully solved this problem.
