  • Population Density and Spatial Patterns of Informal Settlements in Nairobi, Kenya

Reasonable planning of urban density is the key to sustainable development. By using the spatial population data of 2000, 2010, and 2020, this study aims to explore the changes in population density and spatial patterns of informal settlements in Nairobi. The result of spatial correlation analysis shows that the informal settlements are the centers of population growth and agglomeration and are mostly distributed in the belts of 4 and 8 km from Nairobi’s central business district (CBD). A series of population density models in Nairobi were examined; it showed that the correlation between population density and distance to CBD was positive within a 4 km area, while for areas outside 8 km, they were negatively related. The factors determining population density distribution are also discussed. We argue that where people choose to settle is a decision process between the expected benefits and the cost of living; the informal settlements around the 4-km belt in Nairobi has become the choice for most poor people.

  • No Business Like Slum Business? the Political Economy of the Continued Existence of Slums: a Case Study of Nairobi
    Working Paper Series ISSN 1470-2320 2009 No.09-98 No Business like Slum Business? The Political Economy of the Continued Existence of Slums: A case study of Nairobi Florence Dafe Published: February 2009 Development Studies Institute London School of Economics and Political Science Houghton Street Tel: +44 (020) 7955 7425/6252 London Fax: +44 (020) 7955-6844 WC2A 2AE UK Email: [email protected] Web site: www.lse.ac.uk/depts/destin Page 2 of 35 Abstract This paper examines the political economy of the continued existence of slums in Nairobi. Compared to the rest of the city’s population Nairobi’s slum dwellers are excluded from formal delivery systems in the land, housing and services sector. Research on inequality in Kenya identifies ethnic fragmentation as a key reason for unequal access to these resources on the national level. Using a political economy approach this paper challenges this notion. It argues that in the case of Nairobi’s slums class as opposed to ethnicity has relatively greater explanatory power. This argument is based on secondary empirical evidence on the nature of political patronage, rent-seeking and collective action problems in the land, housing and services sector in Nairobi’s slums.
