Dar es Salaam is reimagining its urban future through nature-based solutions that weave green infrastructure into the very fabric of the city. Supported by the World Bank and developed in close collaboration with local leaders, this initiative shows how cities can plan smarter, adapt to climate challenges, and enhance urban resilience through sustainable design.

The project integrates green corridors, restored wetlands, and flood-resilient landscapes that not only protect communities from extreme weather but also improve biodiversity and public spaces. By embedding natural systems into urban planning, Dar es Salaam is turning challenges like flooding and heat into opportunities for greener, more inclusive growth.

This experience offers valuable lessons for cities around the world seeking to harness nature to build resilience and improve quality of life.
