Plotwise

What happened here? Several parts of the building don’t seem to line up, even by just looking at it.

The areas circled in red show the same feature repeated on every floor, but the shapes and proportions change from one level to another. It’s not clear whether this was intentional or something went wrong during construction.

Some maps shared by the media and government about flood-prone areas are too broad to be useful on the ground. Labeling an entire neighborhood like Parklands as “at risk” doesn’t help much compared to identifying specific streets or low-lying sections. It would be far more helpful if Nairobi County published location-level data.

We’ve included waterways mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors, covering rivers, streams, drains, and canals. It’s far from perfect, but it provides a general picture of the city’s drainage network.

For example, sections of First Parklands Avenue are known to experience flooding due to a nearby drain or canal that passes through the area. This kind of street-level detail is what would make official flood mapping far more useful.

🏗 A new 4,096-unit affordable housing project will be coming up in Starehe.

And interestingly, it’s planned for the plot right next to Starehe Boys’ Centre on the former government housing estate (L.R. 209/20158 & 209/20159).

🏘️ 3,175 new residential units in Mombasa.
🦒 A wildlife sanctuary in Tatu City.

Two unique projects just recently proposed to NEMA.

📍 Creekside Garden City in Kisauni (Manyani)
3,175 residential units, Mall + 5-star hotel + 3-star hotel, KSh 24.6B investment.

📍 Wildlife Sanctuary in Tatu City
A proposed sanctuary inside the master-planned city.
Think conservation, eco-tourism, biodiversity.
