“…Despite efforts to provide and maintain public spaces in planned and unplanned settlements respectively poor accessibility and underdevelopment are major challenges to users and inclusiveness to PWDs (Woodcraft et al, 2020). Sanga and Mbisso (2020) noted that communities are experiencing lack of sense of place because of lack and poor maintenance of the few existing facilities. The poor accessibility and facilities affect usability of public spaces by PWD significantly.…”

Some people are left out of their community because of matters they have no control over. Some are excluded from the built environment because of their age, ethnicity, race, disability or migrant status. The “right to the city” concept provides an arena for the discussion of the inclusiveness of disabled and aging population in the built environment. Dar es Salaam city provides an exemplary case of a city excluding disabled and/or older people, confining them in their homes. This qualitative study investigates how being unable to access services within the built environment hinders participation of disadvantaged individuals in social, political and economic arenas. It is argued that forgetting these disadvantaged groups in the planning and design of built environment that urban managers, engineers, architects and planners are creating, enhances unjust societies. Therefore, contemporary urban design and policy-making approaches should inform practitioners to leave nobody behind.

“…Consequently, Dar es Salaam as the fast urbanized and growing city in Sub-Saharan countries, is characterised by planned and unplanned settlements (Sanga & Mbisso, 2020;Mkalawa, 2016);experienced uncoordinated and fragmented SWM waste treatment approaches and procedures focused to the end-of-process solutions than sticking to integrative and preventive measures (Yhdego & Kingu, 2017;Mwanga, 2022); with the fast solid waste generation while uncollected (Onamade, et al, 2022).

This study investigated on income and value chain activities in informal solid waste collection in Tandale, Dar es Salaam. The study involved the samples of 83 individuals using a non-probability purposive technique. Data was collected using a closed questionnaire and open ended interview guide. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics. The study established that the youth engaged in the informal solid waste collection without knowledge and skills on the use of personal protective equipment in executing the waste collection. Young people engaged in the informal solid waste collection regardless their gender age and education status. However, participation varied according to gender as males highly engaged compared to females. The decrease of number of waste collector was proportional to the increase of age. While primary education holders were leading in the informal solid waste collection, even university graduates participated. While the youth engaged in the informal solid collection were less respected by community members, they perceived source of income as a driving factor for engaging in solid waste collection. However, the amount generated was very minimal for sustainability especially in undertaking obligatory life requirements such as food, health care and personal servings. The study recommends that the government should set appropriate policies and strategies in running waste management so that it can attract all age groups as a source of employment.
