Nairobi’s risks losing its beauty through unplanned developments

We have arrived, consciously, at a milestone in this city where it is impossible to tell how high the building next door will be. I emphatically say consciously because the journey to this junction is vivid to nearly all city dwellers.

The debate on the exacerbation of unplanned and uncoordinated development in this city is silently talked about in matatus nearly daily. I bet you will not miss such a conversation in the early morning or late evening informal group discussion along the streets of Nairobi. The discourse is even louder in many professional forums or even residents’ association gatherings.
