- We looked at push/pull factors affecting migration.
- We also looked at factors that might affect Dar Es Salaam in the future, for example climate change.
- We talked about the interviews we had carried out last week when we interviewed local people who had migrated to Tanzania. Many of these people migrated because of opportunities to work or gain a better education.
- Mr Andre showed us images of city areas that hadn't been planned properly. They were overcrowded and lacked amenities such as clean water and electricity.
- Mr Andre asked us what our favourite cities are. New York, Rome, Zurich, Cape Town, Melbourne, Seattle were some of the cities mentioned. These are all cities that took a long time to develop. However, cities such as Dar Es Salaam are urbanising at a far faster rate and this causes problems.
- The population of Dar is currently nearly 4,500,000 but in 2002 it was only 2,500,000. By 2030 the population will be at 10,000,000 which will make it a mega city. "Right now it is difficult to find a city around the world that is growing faster than Dar."
- Mr Andre asked you to think about whether urbanisation is good, bad or depends. Can you complete this statement - "Urbanisation is .............because.............."
- He also asked you to think about whether migration to Dar Es Salaam should be stopped or allowed to continue. What do you think?
Avery's dad came into school today to speak with us about migration and urbanisation. He is a town planner who works with the Tanzanian government.

I think urbanisation depends on what time the people migrate and the population. I think we should let the migration in Dar continue because how would it feel if we were going to migrate to dar for education in IST but then the government doesn't allow you to come into Dar.

Urbanization is good or bad.The reason is because if you have too much people there might be problem.Like when if there not good things then suddenly if people come in then it would be harder to fix that.The good thing is when you need more people it would be a good thing.

Urbanization in Dar is bad because it means not enough living space and not very nice houses for every one,also it could lead to water problems.

Urbanization is Good and Bad, it's bad because if more people come to Dar Es Salaam there will be more and more traffic, it won't be easy for people to go to work and school, it is also bad because when more people come to Dar there won't be enough space for for houses to be built. It's Good because more people will get more money depending on their job, they could also be using their money from their job to get a better house / apartment.

I think it shouldn't be stopped because more people need jobs and money and sometimes there is war at a certain city or country and people want to get away from it.

It good because if somebody made a fantastic city in dar and let the poor live there for a year. Then destroy there old house and make road and sewer and electricity when it is finished and then build there old house so they can have water,toilet and let them live in there old house.

I think migration should not STOP in Dar because some people need to get to Dar because of war,many and other staff and the people might get very mad and start war here.

I think that Urbanization is Good and Bad because if there's too much Urbanization then the city will be unplanned and will be VERY crowded. If there was no urbanization then there wouldn't be a city.

I think migration should not stop because more people more money and then we get better roads better structure may be we could get more parks play grounds more trees more grass.If more people come in we could make a better city unless people with not much money come in it might not help

Urbanization is bad because it could get to crowded or there could be to much traffic. I think it should be allowed because it is so not fair for the people who did not manage to get in to Dar.

Urbanization is good and bad it could be good because you can make money more often depending on your job but it could be bad if you did not plan before hand and theres not enough roads which means there would probably be a LOT of traffic, but if you do plan before it could be good. You can also fix your mistakes and make the city a better place to live in. I think we should let people migrate to Dar es Salaam if we make the city a better place by building roads, houses, buildings, shops and other types of buildings. Also it would not be fair to close the city down.
