Resilient cities membership a good opportunity for Nairobi

Nairobi is easily recognisable anywhere you go beyond our borders. In most foreign cities, you would not miss someone who has been to Nairobi or plans to travel to Nairobi. On the continent, it is an even bigger name. Despite all its woes, the city has consistently featured on lists of fast growing African cities. It has at different times been presented as a possible continental hub  to rival South Africa’s Johannesburg.

When you talk to Nairobi residents, though, few understand how Nairobi makes it onto lists of African cities to watch despite unending problems that make living in the city a nightmare.
