In an urbanized world, countries are apt to be judged according to their degree of urbanization. A glance at the map shows that the under-developed countries are also, by and large, rural. Cities have long existed in Africa, of course. From the ancient trade and cultural centers of Carthage and Alexandria to the mediaeval sultanates of East Africa, urban life has long existed in some degree or another. Yet none of these cities changed significantly the rural character of the African hinterland. Today the city needs to be more than the occasional market place, the seat of political authority, and a haven for the literati. It remains these of course, but it is much more. It must be the industrial and economic wellspring of a large area, perhaps of a nation. The city has become the concomitant of industrialization and industrialization the concomitant 1 2 of the revolution of rising expectations. African cities today are largely the products of colonial enterprise but are equally the measure of their country's progress. The city is witness everywhere to the acute personal, familial, and social upheavals of society in the process of urbanization.

Nairobi, Kenya— Driving through Kenya’s capital city during the time of coronavirus is like moving between two disconnected realities. Neighborhoods such as Muthaiga and Karen are silent—their streets deserted, their occupants invisible inside lush compounds, their houses well stocked with food and other necessities. A few miles southwest of downtown is Kibera, home to a quarter of a million people surviving together beneath tin roofs. Kibera is the largest of the more than a hundred informal settlements in Nairobi, where the vast majority of people scrape by on no more than a few dollars a day. Kenya is one of the world’s most unequal societies. Less than 0.1 percent of the country’s 53 million people own more wealth than the other 99.9 percent.

  • LANDS of LEISURE: RECREATION, SPACE, and the STRUGGLE for URBAN KENYA, 1900-2000 by Caleb Edwin Owen
    LANDS OF LEISURE: RECREATION, SPACE, AND THE STRUGGLE FOR URBAN KENYA, 1900-2000 By Caleb Edwin Owen A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History-Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT LANDS OF LEISURE: RECREATION, SPACE, AND THE STRUGGLE FOR URBAN KENYA, 1900-2000 By Caleb Edwin Owen The movement of people to cities has been a significant trend in the recent history of Africa; in the year 2000, the urban population in Africa superseded the rural. African cities are nonetheless underrepresented and misunderstood in historical scholarship. The predominant narrative of the city and urban life, particularly in the post-colonial context, has been one of impoverishment, social disjuncture, and state failure. My dissertation challenges this metanarrative, highlighting how non-elite Kenyan actors, through their struggles for public parks, playgrounds, and other spaces of leisure, had a stake in urban life and contributed to the production of the city. This dissertation highlights the role of recreation as a governing and community interest that shaped the development of urban policy and land use in Nairobi and Mombasa, Kenya’s two largest cities. Through allocation of land for clubs, the state affirmed its authority as an arbitrator of multiple interests and constituencies. During the 1940s and 1950s, the state, viewing African boredom as a cause of social delinquency, promoted the development of new spaces of leisure— social halls, playing fields, and public gardens. Rather than reaffirming the state’s position as the paternalistic guardian of African interests, these spaces were sites of social and cultural negotiation between urban Kenyans and colonial welfare officers.

  • The Beginnings of Kibondeni College, Nairobi. a Historical and Sociological Overview Things, the Family and Hospitality Work7
    The Beginnings of Kibondeni College, Nairobi. A Historical and Sociological Overview CHRISTINE GICHURE Abstract: The theme of this article is Kibondeni College, a corporate work of Opus Dei in Kenya, East Africa. Its focus is the pre-history, the initial stages and the development of the school which started as a service unit alongside Strathmore and Kianda Colleges. The article seeks to highlight the role of the teaching, faith and vision of St. Josemaría Escrivá with respect to hospitality work as a noble career for women, and how several ladies of Opus Dei imple- mented it at a difficult moment in Kenya’s history. Keywords: Catering Schools – Women – Kibondeni College – Opus Dei – Josemaría Escrivá – Kenya – 1960-1970 Abstract: L’articolo studia la storia del Kibondeni College, un’opera corpo- rativa dell’Opus Dei in Kenia, in particolare le fasi iniziali e lo sviluppo della scuola alberghiera che iniziò come centro di servizi per lo Strathmore e il Kianda College. Vuole mettere in luce il ruolo avuto dagli insegnamenti, dalla fede e dal convincimento di san Josemaría Escrivá che il lavoro domestico e di accoglienza fosse un’occupazione femminile di tutto rispetto; mostra inoltre come alcune donne dell’Opera lo svolgessero in un periodo difficile della storia del Kenia. Keywords: Scuole alberghiere – Donne – Kibondeni College – Opus Dei – Josemaría Escrivá – Kenia – 1960-70 In the book Opus Dei in the Church, Pedro Rodríguez points to a con- stant in St. Josemaría’s theological, anthropological and social teaching: that ISSN 1970-4879 SetD 5 (2011) 77-129 77 CHRISTINE GICHURE Opus Dei is a portion of the Church and, just as the Church is Familia Dei1, Opus Dei is a family2 with its own familial structure3.

  • THIKA HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT the Social/Community Component of the Analysis of the Thika Highway Improvement Project
    THIKA HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The Social/Community Component of the Analysis of the Thika Highway Improvement Project May 2012 Source: http://www.kenyacarbazaar.com/blog/firms-cut-off-thika-road-face-relocation/ 1 Executive Summary Transforming the road from Nairobi to Thika town into a super highway is one of Kenya’s first large-scale transportation infrastructure projects and is drawing mixed reactions. Funded by loans from the African Development Bank and the Chinese government, the project began in 2009 and was expected to be completed in July 2011. The perceptions and reactions of citizens who are seeing their lives transformed by the highway have not been part of most discussions about the highway, and little independent research has taken place on the impacts of the highway especially for non-motorists. The Kenya Alliance of Resident Associations (Kara) and the Center for Sustainable Urban Development (CSUD) at the Earth Institute at Columbia University have come together to examine emerging issues around the Thika Highway Improvement Project (THIP). Kara held a series of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) for residents and users of the highway, along with a stakeholder meeting and public forum. The FGDs, stakeholder meeting, and public forum provided a platform for the public to give their views on the project planning and implementation, the socio-economic impact on their lives and livelihoods, their involvement or otherwise in the project, and issues of local planning and land use in relation to the project as well as any other concerns. In addition, there was the opportunity for dialogue with the officials implementing the project.

  • Chapter 5: Nairobi and Its Environment
    145 “Cities can achieve more sustainable land use if municipalities combine urban planning and development with environmental management” -Ann Tibaijuki Executive Director UN-HABITAT Director General UNON 2007 (Tibaijuki 2007) Chapter 5: Nairobi and its Environment airobi’s name comes from the Maasai phrase “enkare nairobi” which means “a place of cool waters”. It originated as the headquarters of the Kenya Uganda Railway, established when the Nrailhead reached Nairobi in June 1899. The city grew into British East Africa’s commercial and business hub and by 1907 became the capital of Kenya (Mitullah 2003, Rakodi 1997). Nairobi, A Burgeoning City Nairobi occupies an area of about 700 km2 at the south-eastern end of Kenya’s agricultural heartland. At 1 600 to 1 850 m above sea level, it enjoys tolerable temperatures year round (CBS 2001, Mitullah 2003). The western part of the city is the highest, with a rugged topography, while the eastern side is lower and generally fl at. The Nairobi, Ngong, and Mathare rivers traverse numerous neighbourhoods and the indigenous Karura forest still spreads over parts of northern Nairobi. The Ngong hills are close by in the west, Mount Kenya rises further away in the north, and Mount Kilimanjaro emerges from the plains in Tanzania to the south-east. Minor earthquakes and tremors occasionally shake the city since Nairobi sits next to the Rift Valley, which is still being created as tectonic plates move apart. ¯ ,JBNCV 5IJLB /BJSPCJ3JWFS .BUIBSF3JWFS /BJSPCJ3JWFS /BJSPCJ /HPOH3JWFS .PUPJOF3JWFS %BN /BJSPCJ%JTUSJDUT /BJSPCJ8FTU Kenyatta International /BJSPCJ/BUJPOBM /BJSPCJ/PSUI 1BSL Conference Centre /BJSPCJ&BTU The Kenyatta International /BJSPCJ%JWJTJPOT Conference Centre, located in the ,BTBSBOJ 1VNXBOJ ,BKJBEP .BDIBLPT &NCBLBTJ .BLBEBSB heart of Nairobi's Central Business 8FTUMBOET %BHPSFUUJ 0510 District, has a 33-story tower and KNBS 2008 $FOUSBM/BJSPCJ ,JCFSB Kilometres a large amphitheater built in the Figure 1: Nairobi’s three districts and eight divisions shape of a traditional African hut.

  • Nairobi Burning Kenya´S Post-Election Violence from the Perspective of the Urban Poor
    PRIF-Report No. 110 Nairobi Burning Kenya´s post-election violence from the perspective of the urban poor Andreas Jacobs © Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) 2011 Correspondence to: PRIF (HSFK) x Baseler Straße 27-31 x 60329 Frankfurt am Main x Germany Telephone: +49(0)69 95 91 04-0 x Fax: +49(0)69 55 84 81 E-mail: [email protected] x Internet: www.prif.org ISBN: 978-3-942532-34-1 Euro 10,– Summary In the aftermath of the elections held in December of 2007, Kenya burst into flames. For nearly three months, the country was unsettled by a wave of ethno-political violence. This period of post-election violence saw more than a thousand Kenyans killed and between 300,000 and 500,000 internally displaced. Among the areas most heavily hit was the capi- tal city of Nairobi. Within Kenya’s political heart, the bulk of the violence took place in the slums. Life there was massively constrained by violent confrontations between follow- ers of Raila Odinga – leader of the oppositional Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) – and the police forces associated with the incumbent regime of President Mwai Kibaki and his Party for National Unity (PNU). At the same time, members of Kibaki’s ethnic com- munity, the Kikuyu, were selectively targeted by opposing groups. When fellow Kikuyu retaliated in the name of their peers, the flames of violence were fuelled even further. The PNU-ODM coalition government formed by President Kibaki and his challenger Odinga, in an attempt to end the violence at the end of February of 2008, has held until today.
