The Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) yesterday handed over a new Integrated Master Plan for Nairobi City, the first since 1973.The city has not had an urban development guiding framework since the expiry of the 1973 'Nairobi Metropolitan Growth Strategy in 2000'.
The new master plan has a robust agenda of making Nairobi a globally attractive city for regional integration and sustainability within 16 years. The plan aims at addressing challenges confronting the city, an example being the traffic jams around the Central Business District during the rush hours.
