Tanzania+Keeley+Kuru

=**Africa/ American city** __Comparison__=

Dar es Salaam and Miami are very difficult to compare to each other. Miami, Florida is an internationally recognized travel destination for its sandy shores, warm weather, clear waters and much more. In Tanzania, human remains have been found that date back over two million years making Dar es Salaam one of the oldest known inhabited areas on Earth. These two cities; one a hotspot for travel, the other an old wasteland full of slums/squatter areas, not surprisingly have basically nothing in common. Dar es Salaam has a huge growing problem with slum/squatter areas that thousands of people have to live in due to lack of housing and poverty. Most people would see Miami as perfect but it actually has a very big problem with illegal immigration because they’re so close to Cuba. They also have a problem with drug usage. These two cities, although different in many ways, have a few things in common. Their elevation, being on the shoreline is right around about 10ft above sea level. Their top 2nd language is English because in Dar es Salaam children learn Swahili and English at a very early age. Dar es Salaam and Miami’s climates are very hot, humid and rainy. Their differences are way more vivid and you could probably name hundreds. For example Dar es Salaam’s rainfall is **way** more than Miami’s by about 1,004 inches because in Tanzania there are many rainforests. Miami’s population out weighs Dar es Salaam’s by about two and a half million and Miami’s population density is about 5,800 more people per sq. mile. Their movement of goods, people and ideas are different along with their top 1st and 3rd language. Temperatures for summer and winter are also different. Miami, Florida and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania have a long way to go with their problems. In Tanzania, they have to figure out how to stop the spreading of slum/squatter areas. In Miami, people have to stop the huge problem of illegal immigration and be the city people want it to be. They’ve got a long way to go but a bright future shines at the end of the tunnel.
