3 cities in this atlas
Tanzania's political and economic centers are separate: Dodoma serves as the capital, while Dar es Salaam stands as the largest settlement. Beyond these two, the country's urban landscape spreads across a wide range of towns, including Mwanza, Zanzibar, Arusha, and Mbeya, extending inland to places such as Tabora, Kigoma, and Songea, reflecting a dispersed rather than single-centered pattern of settlement.
