Abstract

This study seeks to understand the urban land nexus in Dar es Salaam and Mwanza (Tanzania) and Khartoum (Sudan), to ultimately inform developments and investments that foster more inclusive urbanisation, particularly for vulnerable groups that are often subjected to a range of exclusionary mechanisms. Specifically, where, how and through what formal, informal, or hybrid processes are the growing number of urban residents, and the infrastructures, ecosystem services and markets they depend on, being accommodated in the urban land nexus; how the sorting of different people and groups across the urban land nexus relates to access to livelihoods (formal and informal), basic services (e.g. water and sanitation) and goods (e.g. healthy food); and what politically feasible shifts in urban land nexus governance could make the urban transition more inclusive (e.g. through increased community mobilisation or improvements in market systems) with respect to different economic classes, and also across other axes of vulnerability (e.g. migratory status and gender).
