The facade of a once extremely beautiful residential area has changed. The home owners need to form an association and demand a better representation by the traders. Probably have model kiosks in which to replicate. And plant more trees, have landscape arch students doing their gradable practice there. When I was a student in MI I interviewed for a job which if had gotten it I would be driving along highway interstate rest areas looking for any landscape element out of place and noting it for replacement, while also planting tree, or shrub, perennial or ornamentals which need so. The continuous inbuilt maintenance makes a place better, just the same manner we have healthcare to treat ailments. Thanks for the good work your are doing. South B was once my home

Sorry, I keep talking about trees. I just don't understand why we have fewer trees with all the awareness that was promoted by Wangari Mathai. Being around the equator should make want to plant more trees.

Currently the planning in South B, South C and Nairobi West is wanting . population growth should be matched with quality infrastructure . The local government should introduce a parks ,recreation and landscaping department to work on the external Streetscape of urban Master plan requirements . The zoning department should work on smart cities and implement zoning that is human centric including walking and jogging footpaths ,bike paths ,motorcycle, cars, public transit and later light rail . Every new development should be subject to public participation and neighborhood participation before approval . Some urban areas in Kenya that have a master plan that is being implemented include Kisumu and Homa-bay based on UN reports . Dirty cities are a turn off.

South B was being turned into a slum. The somalis are changing the area just like they are doing with Eastleigh. If Somalis lived in Mathare and Kibra the entire place would change. But what we have in these slums are githeri slum loads who just put up structures not even inhabitable by animals and charge an arm and a leg. They come with no toilets just one room which acts as your bedroom, sitting room, kitchen, no running water, no toilet. At least the somalis build decent livable housing with all amenities and improve the area. Next you will see a huge mall like BBS. Thats how they do it.
