7 II. Project Content Urban growth management is understood as the deliberate and integrated use of the planning, regulatory, and fiscal authority of central and local governments to influence the pattern of growth and development in order to meet projected needs

8 Project Content (2) Included are tools referring to land use regulation, infrastructure investment and taxation, and other policy instruments that significantly influence the development of land and the construction of housing This project will concentrate on the particular case of Sub-Saharan Africa with a special focus on the rapidly growing city of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Urbanisation under poverty is, however, also prevalent in a number of regions in South and South- East Asia.

9 III. Guiding questions The following guiding questions serve as a framework for the project design, the empirical analysis and the development and implementation of solutions: Which impact does trunk infrastructure supply have on urban development and to which extent does it determine urban expansion? What are the criteria of informal settlers for choosing an area to build and how are they related to infrastructure provision?

10 Guiding questions (2) How is the current infrastructure provision organised in formal and informal areas, who is doing what, why, where and under which (institutional and technical) frameworks? How can infrastructure supply be used as a tool to guide urban development? How can the process of providing trunk infrastructure be used to attract respectively to guide urban growth into favourable locations based on a citywide concept for sustainable urban growth?

11 Guiding questions (3) How can the provision of trunk infrastructure be integrated into a decentralised urban planning and management approach? What kind of technical and organisational solutions for infrastructure supply are appropriate to be implemented on the local level? Which institutional and legal set-up has to be established to govern infrastructure supply on a local level?
