Nairobi; Kenya: World Habitat Day 2014 was commemorated on Monday, October 6, with a befitting theme, ‘Voices from Slums’, to focus stakeholders’ attention on the hundreds of thousands of people living in poor housing conditions in urban areas.
October 2014 has been dubbed the Urban Month by experts as Kenya grapples with the complexities of devolved urbanisation. Planners point out that the absence of an urban policy will only make the situation worse and scare away investors and development partners.
