This thesis is written as an attempt to balance the population increase and provision of services in Dodoma. It addresses the issue of demand and supply by projecting the population and the uses in terms of office accommodation by the Capital Development Authority in its bid in providing services for the existing and incoming population. The data on population projection could indeed be a useful source for planners to extrapolate assessing the present and future demand for all services for Dodoma, in order to establish a balanced harmonious development of the Capital City.The needs assessment is therefore aimed to be the basic tool for the Government and the Capital Development Authority (CDA), to determine what are the characteristics of the incoming population, and what they will need in terms of offices, housing and schools. The Chapters on initial plans and survey of needs will provide the basis of the analysis and recommendations pertaining to the needs for the users in Dodoma. / Department of Urban Planning
