| Sumario: | The purpose of this research was to investigate and document the existing architectural heritage in Bagamoyo and Dar es Salaam in the midst of urbanization, where artifacts have been dwindling over time. The study was carried out using an exploratory methodology and case study strategy, with various tools, such as a field survey, secondary data, physical documentation, and photographing. Several findings were concluded: both Bagamoyo and Dar es Salaam have valuable architectural and cultural heritage elements, such as Arabic, Swahili, Indian, Islamic, Western, and modern and contemporary that must be restored, up kept, and maintained for the two cities' sustainability. Some of the artifacts, such as doors, have inscribed messages that are no longer visible. Demolition and partial replacement of heritage artifacts have been taking place in Dar es Salaam since the 1990s. To save the historical heritage in the two localities, a more comprehensive approach involving the government and other stakeholders (private and public) is required. |
