The surging population of Nakuru City has forced investors and developers to put up better housing facilities in almost all estates to accommodate the growing demand.

This has birthed modern residential apartments and houses in several sections of the city slums - improving the landscape of Kenya's newest city.

The upgrade has been supported by the World Bank-funded Kenya Urban Support Programme (KUSP).
