Between 1950 and 1973, urbanisation proceeded at the rate of 10.5 per cent per annum, raising the proportion of Tanzania mainland’s population living in settlements of over 20 000 people from 1.4 per cent to 7.0 per cent. As growth proceeded, urban areas displaced plantations as the main source of food demand in the economy.
