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.

  • The Efficiency of Nairobi's Kariobangi Wastewater Treatment Plant
    THE EFFICIENCY OF NAIROBI’S KARIOBANGI WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT BY ANDERE CLEMENT MIRUKA REG. NO: I56/69022/2013 A RESEARCH THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI AUGUST, 2016 DECLARATION This thesis is my original idea and has never been presented for award of a degree at any other University Sign……………………………………. Date…………………………………… Andere Clement Miruka. This thesis is submitted with our approval as research supervisors Sign……………………………………. Date………………………………………. Prof. David K. Kariuki. Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi Sign……………………………………. Date……………………………………… Prof. Amir O. Yusuf Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi Sign……………………………………. Date……………………………………… Dr. John O. Onyatta Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi ii ABSTRACT Kariobangi Sewerage Treatment Plant in Nairobi City County is a conventional mechanical wastewater treatment plant with an installed capacity of 32,000 m3/day and has an in built methenation unit. It is the only available conventional mechanical wastewater treatment plant in the city and its efficiency is therefore, of paramount importance. A total of 48 samples from three sites within the plant namely the Inlet (I), the Clarifier(C) and the Outlet (O) were analyzed for various parameters. Development activities within the treatment plant’s catchment area were assessed with view to establish their effects on the performance of the plant. Physico-chemical parameters, chemical parameters, heavy metals, oil & grease and bacteriological presence analyses were carried out so as to evaluate the efficiency of the plant. The physico-chemical parameters analyzed included settleable solids (SS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and biochemical oxygen demand after five days (BOD5).

  • Nairobi-Thika-Transp
    FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce this 10-plan year which is a road map on how the Nairobi - Thika Superhighway Transport Corridor (NTTC) is geared to develop. This is the first comprehensive spatial plan covering the NTTC, which is within Ruiru and Juja Sub-Counties and it has been prepared at a time when Kiambu County is grappling with the challenges of tackling rapid urbanisation. I am happy to note that, this plan has been prepared in a participatory manner taking into account the contributions of various stakeholders whose role in the implementation of the proposals is fundamental. Kiambu is the third most urbanised County after Nairobi and Mombasa and has witnessed rapid urbanisation in the few decades with people moving into the County to settle, set business, and undertake other development activities. The NTTC has witnessed rapid urbanisation coupled with high population growth and economic activities in the last ten years since the onset of devolved government and the upgrading of the Nairobi-Thika Highway thus changing the corridor’s character. Due to this rapid growth as a County, we are expected to commit more investments to cope with this expansion. More people need to be accommodated in a suitable environment with ease of movement, adequate physical and social infrastructure and employment opportunities. However, most of this urbanisation is happening with little or no planning intervention as characterised by piecemeal subdivision and land-use conversions. Due to the absence of planning tools like the Plan to guide and manage this rapid urbanisation, the current development in these areas is suffering from uncoordinated growth, land use conflict, inadequate basic infrastructure facilities and services, poor housing, and inefficient public transportation system, amongst other challenges.

  • Slum Toponymy in Nairobi, Kenya a Case Study Analysis of Kibera
    Urban and Regional Planning Review Vol. 4, 2017 | 21 Slum toponymy in Nairobi, Kenya A case study analysis of Kibera, Mathare and Mukuru Melissa Wangui WANJIRU*, Kosuke MATSUBARA** Abstract Urban informality is a reality in cities of the Global South, including Sub-Saharan Africa, which has over half the urban population living in informal settlements (slums). Taking the case of three informal settlements in Nairobi (Kibera, Mathare and Mukuru) this study aimed to show how names play an important role as urban landscape symbols. The study analyses names of sub-settlements (villages) within the slums, their meanings and the socio-political processes behind them based on critical toponymic analysis. Data was collected from archival sources, focus group discussion and interviews, newspaper articles and online geographical sources. A qualitative analysis was applied on the village names and the results presented through tabulations, excerpts and maps. Categorisation of village names was done based on the themes derived from the data. The results revealed that village names represent the issues that slum residents go through including: social injustices of evictions and demolitions, poverty, poor environmental conditions, ethnic groupings among others. Each of the three cases investigated revealed a unique toponymic theme. Kibera’s names reflected a resilient Nubian heritage as well as a diverse ethnic composition. Mathare settlements reflected political struggles with a dominance of political pioneers in the village toponymy. Mukuru on the other hand, being the newest settlement, reflected a more global toponymy-with five large villages in the settlement having foreign names. Ultimately, the study revealed that ethnic heritage and politics, socio-economic inequalities and land injustices as well as globalization are the main factors that influence the toponymy of slums in Nairobi.
