Walking in Dar es Salaam elevates our senses; it’s a mixture of unplanned settlements, vibrant dirt roads, and paved highways. In these spaces, you find a hodgepodge of humanity: Laughing children, lost chickens, and decades-old buses imported from Japan.

Somehow, the disjointed development patters all fit together, shaken-up in an urban mixing bowl, and displaced before us: A newly planned highway bi-sects an unplanned settlement; a mercades-benz rubs shoulders with a rusted bicycle; a bajaji honks as a ‘mama’ hops out of harms way.

Fascinatingly, in unplanned settlements, or those often viewed as ‘forgotten’ by modern planning principles, communities come to life. Neighbourhoods become a maze of dirt paths; defined, unassumingly, by one-story shacks of disjoined shapes and sizes.

Are you keen on living a sustainable lifestyle? If your answer is Yes! then why not get down to the Sustainable City Exhibition at the Durban  Exhibition Center from the 13-15 August.

Hosted by the Municipality's Imagine Durban programme the event aims to showcase more than 60 exhibitors whose products, services and innovation will inspire you to make a change and live for the future sustainability of our planet and human beings. Entrance is free and show times are from Monday-Saturday 8am to 4pm, and Sunday 8am to 3pm.

The Sustainable City Exhibition will showcase a wide range of sustainable efforts that various people have undertaken to build a sustainable city. This includes government, NGO's, community based organisations, schools, business, and individuals who are passionate about sustainable living. They serve as ideal examples of how individuals can make a difference.
