Kigamboni
Kigamboni is a District of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. According to the 2002 census, the ward has a total population of 36,701. The Kigamboni Bridge, currently under construction, will link the area to the central business district.
Due to the expansion of economic activities, Dar Es Salaam is expanding faster. In the coming few years, it is expected to expand even more and economic activities will increase. Especially, Kigamboni, the site area has a strong presence with large tracks of good, unexploited land.
According to various studies on the presence of unpolluted beaches, the redevelopment of Kigamboni will spearhead economic development and increase the national income. The big picture of the Kigamboni new city master plan is to provide sufficient infrastructure in order that the residents have a better quality of life and to build a core for developing new land demands of Dar Es Salaam, such as residential, commercial, trade and business, industrial, educational, and tourism facilities.
