Valuing the unvalued recreational ecosystem services in developing cities of sub-Saharan Africa: urban parks in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Submitted by Petra Hansson on

Being mostly rural, Dar es Salaam has always been characterized by greenery and more recently by green space development. However, the values of these spaces are often not known. Note that these unknown values are common to sub-Saharan Africa. In order to make informed decisions in the management of these spaces, it is important that the values are assessed and documented. In this study, we do so by estimating the economic value of recreational parks in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
