How Tanzania's new capital Dodoma is changing

- In just about 40 years, the city of Dodoma has grown from just a small town in the middle of nowhere to Tanzania’s capital. Tanzania is not the first country to shift its capital. Malawi moved its capital from Zomba to Lilongwe in 1975, while Nigeria effected a similar change from Lagos to Abuja in 1991. BBC Africa Senior Business Reporter Peter Mwangangi went to Dodoma to find out how the city is changing, and what is being done to respond to the increased demand for accommodation.

As a Tanzanian living abroad it's high time we invest home.thanks to Honorable J.P Magufuli.well done to the team too.
Tanzania 🇹🇿 ❤❤
Well come bro,
Tupo nchini kwetu
Love and respect to Julius Nyerere and John Pombe Magufuli
In 1997 I was in Tanzania but now a days Tanzania is growing very fast .love from India
welcome again，The 19’s Tanzania is different from nowadays Tanzania。
@@CoolTvTanzania Right.I see many videos about Tanzania .So I again I want to come Tanzania .
Reminds me of Nigeria. Dar Salam becomes the commercial capital like Lagos while Dodoma becomes the seat of power like Abuja. Nice.
Viva Tanzania vivaaaa,
Even Europe was built 100 years and more, Africans let us build our beautiful nation afrika by supporting our communities to get informed about the changes happening to their countries
Dodoma is developing so fast
This is very good. Three million inhabitants? That is immense opportunities. I hope Tanzanians will be able to exploit these opportunities.
Dodoma is growing fast economically
I’m a resident of Dodoma after relocating from Kenya and I can attest to this.
Huko shamba za 50x100 zinapatikana? Ni how much hivi? 😊
@@JamesKeru amesema $4 per acre so about $20,000 for an acre ...about $4000 for 50 × 100 so ksh. 500K- 600K...however, foreigners, including Kenyans are not allowed to own land in Tanzania unless it's classified as an investment above $500,000. Also land is a leasehold unlike KE where it's often freehold
@@JamesKeruyou can't buy a in Tanzania 🇹🇿,,njoo kwa kutulia
@@irenewile mnajua mkifungua uchumi wenu our very own Kikuyus watawahemesha kinyama. Anyways, hamtafunga forever. One day we’ll find a way to colonise you. 😂
@@JamesKeruMkija mkifungua kinywa chenu tu mnaweka Segerea..Pumbavu..Kukosa kwenu adabu ndiyo maana mnalalamika mnapata treatment mbaya Tanzania…Shenzi kabisa wewe.
God bless TZ. As a citizen and tourist from Jamaica, i visited Kenya and TZ in 2019. I took a bus from Nairobi to Arusha. Along the route i didnt see much except arid land and a some Masai herdsmen then boom we pulled up in Arusha.
Developing one's country is always a great step to improve the GDP and the quality of life of its citizens.
I hope to return one day before the Lord calls me home.

Love you from Tanzania 🇹🇿🇹🇿
Hello and thank you for this informative video. Peter, if you have any connection with the government, please remind them that a capital city is not just for government officials and other civil servants. They need affordable and also cheap housing to avoid slums being developed because of a lack of foresight. Think about the mistakes in Abuja.
Beautiful city indeed
Nice documentary
Educative video. Thanks.
Hongera Mama Samia keepgoing
Best president in Africa and Tanzania 🇹🇿is the best 👌country to live in the world at the moment and to invest
Mama Dr Rais Samia Suluhu
Keep it up.
We love 💘❤💗💜💕all in

Great content
Nice one my guy 😇
R.i.p uncle Magufuli
❤Very professional vlog!
I've heard that there's also plans for 2 commuter rail lines! Hopefully they'll materialize soon
this is a great space to invest
Amazing video
TANZANIA..... amazing potential for growth and development in virtually every sphere!!!
u cannot develope when u dont have an identity or know who are u.
Got to plant trees. Lots of parks and play areas so people will meet and getvto know each other.
When I lived there in the 60`s it had a Mental Hospital and 10 miles of tarmac. Good show!!!
The Indonesian capital also moved from Jakarta on the island of Java to Nusantara on the island of Kalimantan. For now, the construction of the presidential palace, ministry offices, ministerial houses, toll roads and wharves is still under construction. Next year in August 2024 the Indonesian capital will officially move to the Nusantara. The relocation of the Indonesian capital there is also for equitable distribution of development, especially in eastern Indonesia and Jakarta which are already densely populated.
Dodoma is developing very fast
but no trees planting in house areas
Tanzania can do better. Standards must be world class at a minimum.
That narration is👌

@@christophern.1541 I really dont understand what you are referring to.
Well done Tanzania.
These city must be made more sexier beautiful more organized and mostly a more livable one in East Africa
Dodoma is changing very fast
Let's go Tanzania👊
I think next Yr I'll come to invest there
Best country to invest in Africa
Tanzania 🇹🇿

Tanzanians and Africans need to be better administrators. No point in running away from your country.
Ulienda wapi bro Mwangangi?
I didn’t Dodoma was only a capital by name but government operated from Dar. Thanks to Magufuli for effecting change. Looks like a great investment opportunities exist in the city. I don’t know if a Ugandan can buy land and build there? They need to fast track this EAC Federation thing so that we have more freedoms in the region.
Exactly....
I hope they allow Africans to do so ...
No African citizen of a country should pay for a single square meter of land. To who by the way ? Only for the Standards required to build his/her house, his/her small percentage for the community infrastructure, roads, water, sewage, electricy, parks etc. With❤️from 🇿🇼.
Some of the land probably had owners before the place became a capital
That's communism it would lead to great disaster
I think you are so right,but how do we go about this,when we still using the old corrupted neocolonialism method,Africa need new regulations and open borders,
@@305jett do what Vietnam did bro
Good job our jirani
I think you quoted the provincial population not the city...
RIP jpm
good changes
See TH-camr is a Kenyan ...marketing Tz .....i like that
Tanzania oyee
Hope this does not kill the existence and boom of dar es salaam.😊
It's always been the capital
It has been the capital for years this aint something new
If Magufuli lived his entire tenure, Tanzania economy would overtake Kenya
Hope God give you another Magufuli
Not fROM that part of the world, but missed him so much!
Kweli kbs da
Tanzania might still over take Kenya within the next 20-30!years if it maintains the current trajectory.
What does kenya have to do with this....quite irrelevant
definelty it probally would have been the fastest growing economic on the continent
R.I.P MAGUFULI
Only 2.3 million Kshs for a full 1 acre wueh!
Man!
I wish uganda can relocate our capital back to Entebbe or inner land like nakasongola
poor planning, no intra houses spaces, trees, man-made lakes etc
C’mon it’s not a ‘new’ capital. Dodoma has been the country’s capital since 1974. It’s just been pending complete transfer of official functions from Dar es Salaam which the late president did recently.
He has acknowledged the fact that the City was declared to be capital city in 1974. But the materialisation of the idea came about 4 decades later during the 5th government. And it was Magufuli who shifted himself to Dodoma and all the ministries. To add on that new infrastructure are enacted now not then in 1974.
Somalia also needs to do the same thing to move the capital Mogadishu to new place,
so dodoma is older than abuja. man they need to speed up
Remember what helped Abuja grow was OIL wealth. It takes alot of money to build a new city.
ur right
We are not competing with anyone,no rush .so chill fool
Engineer hujui Kiingereza, ooooh my God, this is Tanzania, maneno miiiiingi lakini Mmmmmmmhhhh.
Why should he know English, a colonial language? What wrong with speaking an African language?
English is just a language like other languages Wachina wanawajengea barabara hata "this and that" hawajui... huyo mhandisi kuongea kwake kiswahili haimaanishi hajui kiingerez
He's engineer not a English Teachers... Please challenge him on his expertise..
The Judiciary should move to another city such as Mwanza, Mbea, or Tanga. To balance the economy of the nation.
What do you mean??
Mwanza is doing well with mines, farms, lake and trade with ugandans and kenyans.
Arusha is growing fast with tourism and mines
Mbeya is the hub of agriculture
Anf Tanga is at it's best with it been the third grossing port in east africa with the uganda oil pipeline transit.
So Tanzania is going well as it is.
Dodoma ni kukame so poa🤣🤣
BIM any better
If Tanzanians will choose to speak English in public forums their GDP will double in no time. Excessive Speaking of Vernacular is hindering the development of Tanzania.
How come only one of the persons interviewed spoke English? Does no one spoke English in Tanzania?
Yes Tanzania is swahili speaking nation
Hatupendi kuongea lugha ya kikoloni, hatuendekezi utumwa.
They understand English but prefer to speak Swahili. 👍👍
Why do they Have to speak colonist language in this century 😮
“Does no one SPOKE”? How ironic that you should ask about English 😂 Guess basic grammar skills aren’t so basic. We SPEAK both English and Kiswahili
Other poor performing African countries need to shift their Capital cities to speed up and spread infrastructure development. That is how USA overcame the Great Depression (Keynesian economics).
They didn't move their capitals,but the build infrastructures and lots of roads to connect states to state and cities to cities,and the manufacturers do the rest,
@@305jett we need that all over africa
only for the rich...please help the people in the slums
Why calling it capital... Have you been in South Africa is it safe to say South Africa have got 9 capitals??...
Better BBC do good report about Africa. Otherwise U.K and all Europe will lost Africa very rapidly

Lack of vision on the road construction , they don't see the future because the population will explode in the near future so the roads would have been expanded because from what I see in this video it's too small
Do you know how much a road costs not to mention its life-cycle. Not to mention supply and demand, imagine building and running a warehouse 50% bigger because you might need space 20 in years when MAYBE people choose your location because you have magnet. You can build Universities, schools, markets, Terminals , hospitals etc which will have way greater impact than any road
Dont worry, there is a ring road being built, there is a land preserve for light rail lines, also the government offices are located out of the congested downtown, that place with a post saying magufuli city is a suburb several kilómetres out of downtown where all política, government and diplomátic offices are being built
@@265d7 good point....
Very disappointing is to call it Magufulli city,just called it Dodoma city, my God!! we do not need heads of states/presidents in Africa naming national projects, for example roads, airports, bridges , etc after themselves 2023. And now a whole City. Come on! My African brothers and sisters.
It is not a whole city that is called after his name its a place where govt offices and embassies are located. But in fact he deserves more homage than that b'se of what he has done in Tz. For example this project of allocating govt offices to Dodoma; the city was declared govt seat since 1974 officially, but it took 42 yrs to be implemented in a large scale but his four predecessors had done a little which is negligible compared to him. And that is only one area but there are many areas that he did very well to honoured by his ppl. After all the culture of naming after former presidents or African heroes is very ordinary in Tz u will find many places from halls, roads, streets, stadia, air ports and national parks named after Nelson Mandela, Kwame Nkuruma, Julius Nyerere, Kenyatta, Lumumba and soon. It may sound strange maybe from where you come from but in Tz that culture is very ordinary and acceptable. But to him (JPM) there many places that are named after him from bus stations, schools, bridges and even this location on video and this is not end many will be called after his name b'se he deserves even though he has passed away already.
Love and respect to John Pombe Magufuli; an African hero. I like that Tanzania also name many of its roads with the names of African heroes , except Obama street (not an African hero)
stfu He deserves to be venerated.
@@Tu51ndBl4d3 😂😂😂l.m.a.o, (laughing my ass off) because you did not get my point and understood my hidden message about African leaders.
@@coz2j69 There's Obama Avenue in Tanzania
STUPID AND COSTLY MOVE. No logistical reason whatsoever to change the capital city and install it in the middle of the country. Move all the offices, taking iinternational loans to build the city. Then what?
Wewe tu wafikiria loan tu nyamaza na ushughulike na inchi yako
You have not been asked for funds just relax
@@frankmayieka4513 My cousins will pay higher taxes, as usual, to pay for this stupid expansion. Tanzania has the highest taxes in East Africa. It's just ridiculous.
It seems like I am the only who has agree with you on this subject,they should modernized the old capital,expand the roadways and the electricity and water,in truth focus more on the people and let the city grow up naturally,
@@305jett Exactly. Improve the lives of the people and infrastructures then expand.
