Abstract
A century (1890s to 1990s) of urban development planning and management in Tanzania has witnessed, among other things, a growing demand for planned and serviced land in urban areas. In response, the planning machinery has attempted to reduce the chronic gap between demand and supply of planned land, albait in vain. The methodology adopted involved a review of secondary data sources, interviews and analysis. The findings of this research present a multidimensionally reciprocating role of Private Public Partnerships (PPP) in the delivery of planned and serviced land in Tanzania. Taking the role of Private Public Partnerships into account, effective implementation of urban development planning and management proposals is alternatively possible using resources amalgamated through workable Public Private Partnerships.
Highlights

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role and contribution of the private sector in planning, surveying and servicing of urban land in Tanzania
The commonly used arrangements in these modes of partnerships are: a) Build-Operate-Transfer b) Build-OwnOperate, c) and Private Finance Initiative. These forms of public private partnerships are elaborated hereunder with a view to identifying the one that fits the land development projects being implemented through Private Partnership (PPP) in Tanzania
Summary
Urban planning activities in Tanzania generally and Dar es Salaam are governed by the Tanzania’s Urban Planning Act No 8 of 2007 [1]. A century (1890s to 1990s) of urban planning practice in Tanzania, has witnessed urban planning being treated as an activity of the government, executed by planning departments in local authorities. This has been the case but with limited participation of the private sector, stakeholders from other government departments, and the popular sector. Resulting from such a practice, local authorities have found themselves not been able to meet demands for planned, surveyed and serviced land in Tanzania.
