Integration of Climate Risk Information into Land-use Planning Dar Es Salaam Draft Land Use Plan 2012-2032
Urban Land-use Planning Summary and Outlook Challenges to Implement Urban Climate Adaptation Policies: Risk-based land use planning is a nonstructural approach that identifies the safest locations and regulations for guiding urban development. Risk-based land use plans should inform all urban infrastructure projects How can such restrictions be put in place and enforced in the face of high land values and strong pressure for immigration? Problems to control rapid urbanization in Dar es Salaam where the large informal sector and real estate pressure make the implementation of classic land use planning and urbanisation policies very difficult.
Exploring Possibilities for Nexus Initiatives in Metropolitan Regions The Case of Dar es Salaam
The Water, Energy and Food Security Nexus
The Water, Energy and Food Security Nexus The German Government NEXUS Assistance Initiatives A Water, Energy and Food Security Resource Platform has been launched that provides information on NEXUS initiatives arising all around the world (www.water-energy-food.org); A BMZ/GIZ project is being supported in ten Asian cities; A new global programme is being launched by the BMZ/GIZ under the heading of Sustainable Development of Metropolitan Regions with four components: Metropolitan Regions as business regions; as labour market and residential centres; as NEXUS networks; and as governance systems Under the third heading, work is starting with an exploration of NEXUS possibilities in Dar es Salaam.
Clarifying the NEXUS Concept Improvement in the supply, processing and distribution of water and energy, and food security to and in cities of the South; The main focus of NEXUS initiatives: satisfying the water needs of growing urban populations and incorporating the management of wastewater and drainage in a situation of increased urban flooding; Reducing energy demand and accessing renewable sources of energy in a world where energy costs are rising as a consequence of scarcity; and Improving both the supply and the quality of food accessible to urban populations in a situation of rising food prices and increasing undernourishment and malnutrition. Solutions to one of these challenges can be coupled in many cases to solutions to another, leading to synergies where 1+1 is more than 2.
Implementation: Water-Energy-Food-Climate NEXUS Developing More Integrated Urban Solutions for the Next Generation
A NEXUS initiative in Dar es Salaam How to Proceed
A NEXUS initiative in Dar es Salaam How to Proceed Schools are an excellent place to start: a potential pilot area has been identified at Hekima and Tandale Primary Schools in Tandale Ward that would be supported Kinondoni Municipality: Water: The two schools on one site have extensive roofs that can harvest water and also extensive need for fresh water. Sanitation: School children using eco-san toilets produce substantial waste that can fuel biodigesters with sludge used as soil conditioner; Urban Agriculture: The schools have extensive grounds that can be used for vegetable and fruit tree growing that need urea and organic waste inputs; Dissemination of Results: In learning NEXUS by seeing and doing, school children can disseminate the procedures to parents and schools can also lead in changing mindsets and capacity-building; Extension: Municipal and ward agricultural extension workers can then help improve urban agricultural outputs; Upscaling: Once established in the school grounds, the system can be extended to local communities and small businesses established to buy and process wastes, biogas and agricultural produce.
