The Government has revealed plans to adopt modern vehicular traffic management systems as a key component in the 500,000 affordable homes programme.

“To achieve Affordable Housing Programme objectives we must facilitate ease of movement in an effective and reliable manner,” said Principal Secretary for Housing and Urban Development Charles Hinga at a transport management workshop in Nairobi.
“Our project design principles feature clear policies on access and movement including cycling paths and pedestrian-friendly walkways to boost non-motoried forms of transport uptake,” he added.
The typical land breakdown in the AHP development framework will incorporate residential housing units on 50 per cent of the project land.
