People are fleeing to the suburbs because of the crazy traffic and lack of parking space.

People are fleeing to the suburbs because of the crazy traffic and lack of parking space.Which means they should invest on proper infrastructure like building underground parking lots, introducing rail systems like trams, metro trains, light rail, public bus systems e.t.c.

Anyway I hope they will focus on this otherwise some parts of the CBD will become museum by 2030.Abandoning and neglecting the CBD is therefore not wise enough with excuses you are giving (Traffic jams).

i think moving to the suburbans is the way to go...it might cost more money to upgrade the down infrastructure...they need to open new areas.abandoning cbd is too drastic-direct development to other areas.with bigger infrastructure outskirts will flourish.we can have other nerve centers...cbd will still flourish-its too small.

Its bad planning or lack thereof.By the look of things they're just transfering the old problem to new areas.Take the existing and upcoming office blocks on Argwings Kodhek Rd-there exists no road reserve at all for any future expansion yet there'll be more and more upcoming office blocks and multi unit residencies up the road feeding ever more traffic.

We currently have about 25 cars for every 1000 people yet we have this nightmare traffic.What will happen when we have more cars in the next 10-15 yrs?Nairobi just needs to plan 5 or 6 multilane highways just to keep up or it will kill off alot of commerce.Some much smaller cities than Nrb are better placed.

i think we all have the similar observations.ole wetu the city planning is still in the 1950-70s.nothing has been done about planning.nairobi will look like a ghetto.look at kayole-some of those areas in kariobangi,mwiki,umoja,buruburu they looking like ghetto shanties-i live in buru but darn they have messed this once beautiful estate.its planning,planning,planning.we are in 2011 but we are 30yrs behind.

What are you complaining about now, always complaining!

CBD needs to get taller and spread. Upper hill isn't that far from the CBD is it? Imagine the day their skylines combine.

meh, nvm. still the CBD needs taller buildings. It'd be amazing if Nairobi had multiple large, tall skylines like Metro Manila.

This would be a perfect CBD:

That would be a great sight to see.

That would be a great sight to see.

It sure would but its still far off i think.Take the big four currently in place-they are all connected to GK.To start getting that kind of height + density the private sector will have to be the driver when and if they gain economies of scale in operations & profits to warrant such height,density and sq footage.In short,they'll have to make economic sense for their owners.

^^far off? Yeah I sort of agree it doesn't make economic sense for the CBD to have buildings of that height right now. But, I think the CBD can look like that eventually. The demand will come from increased population growth and growing businesses in the area, not to mention more multinationals coming to Nairobi due to increase in tourism, and it being a regional hub. Eventually you'll run out of room to build out, or it'll become too expensive, so building up would be the logical outcome.

+1. Its a matter of time for developers to run out of suburbs to turn into commercial zones. When that happens, companies will return to the CBD and drive the demand for taller towers to be built. Most likely this will happen when the mass transit systems are in place making the CBD very attractive again.

Give me a break, I prefer Nairobi as it is currently and the second picture does it for me. We are all aware that Nairobi has it's fair share of challenges but remember it is 1000 times better than your prized Dar es salaam. In Nairobi there is better infrastructure and as much as you think the old 'Nairobi Slums' song is relevant, we are working on fixing our problems.

So before you point out Nairobi's issues what about Dar es salaam and the fact that "out of the 4 million residents of Dar es Salaam, over 3.2 million live in unplanned areas! " UN Habbitat report.

:ohno:

I am yet to meet a Kenyan who is unaware of the challenges that we all face as a nation but unfortunately some of
us have allowed our challenges to drag us down and we have lost focus on the possibilities. Unlike most cities in
Africa, Nairobi is a great place to be in, we are dependent on innovation unlike the rest of the top 10 African
economies that are reliant on natural resources. This is why multinational firms are scrambling to set up base
in Nairobi and it is one of the fastest growing cities in Africa and thousands of people are heading back home
from the diaspora.

SO IT IRKS MY NERVES WHEN I SEE PEOPLE TAKING CHEAP SHOTS AT US!

the developments are well deserved in kenya. but the city council needs to catch up with the rest of development.i think the kanjo needs to be privatised or something.private sector that is developing around is under strain from the ineffectiveness in city council,despite the good intention of the developers.actually nairobi would built more were it not for the kanjo.city council has to lead-developers cannot rezone, build bigger sewage systems.that is why its so expensive coz the developers have to carry alot of costs.

True and fair concerns about the city govt but i'll be the devil's advocate a little bit.There's corruption and lethargy in there but also realise the council is handicapped.
To carry out its work of fixing rds & sewers it needs money which ,to be honest, it is owed quite a lot thru arrears in land rates and i wouldn't be surprised some of those developers owe big time.Others are big politicians who haven't paid in yrs.
If we want good working rd & sewer systems we'll have to bear the pain and pay up our dues in time otherwise NCC won't do much being handicapped like it is.

Which guys,where are they? J/K.Not to be nitpicky but a little detail or lack thereof can change the meaning.It sounds as if you're refering to some guys as opposed to "Nice pics of Nairobi,guys".Not a big thing though.

The CBD syline has not changed for a very long time, I hope someone will come up with a new project that will shape up the skyline!;)

The CBD syline has not changed for a very long time, I hope someone will come up with a new project that will shape up the skyline!;)

Nairobi's following a common pattern of growth like many cities around the world.

There is a period when the CBD becomes the focus for new developments and is the most sought after district. (In Nairobi's case, this was the 70's until the mid 90's). Then there's the period when people move to the surrounding suburbs away from the city centre (present day Nairobi). Afterwards, with urban renewal programs and inner city revitalisation, people move back into the city centre. (this is yet to happen for Nairobi).

When the last phase happens in Nairobi, especially when commuter systems improve and parking issues are solved, the CBD will become attractive once again. I'm sure a number of blocks built in the 60's and 70's will give way to modern towers. Just be patient. :)

^^I actually like some of the older skyscrapers in the CBD. I hope they all don't get torn down. I'd be nice if new buildings were just built alongside them. Old + taller, modern scrapers would be a nice view.....

Beautiful photos Èddeůx keep them coming

It is time they did away with those tiny road signs.People who live in Nairobi know the streets and their names.The signs are for newcomers/ tourists.Post bigger road signs and at viewable locations not next to floweres/trees/shrubbery(sp)
They will look better too.

I highly doubt you know every street in Nairobi by name. Locals too need the street name signs. I think the city council is doing something about the small street signs outside the CBD. They are replacing them with larger signs with a list of businesses and other organisations to be found on a particular street. A brilliant idea since it removes the clutter of small billboards crowding road junctions.

That was part of a lion conservation initiative sometime back when they placed model lions decorated with artwork on the streets. Speaking of art, Im still looking for more pics showing the new Tom Mboya statue along Moi avenue.

this is the greatest picture of Nairobi ever. the disparity between uptown/downtown is also pretty clear in this pic.

In the far bottom right those apartment blocks coming up, they look like they're the low-income housing for the slum dwellers. Commies, but if they replace the entire slum someday then at least Nairobi aerials will look a lot better.

Nairobi oh Nairobi !! i love you !

if you notice people can use their cellphones without fear of being mugged.

Nairobi is not completely safe but it has come a very long way

river road at night. yes, i can pull out a $530 cellphone and take pictures in river road Nairobi. think back to 2002 if walking around river road at 11:40pm was possible without getting mugged.

oh! it is very clean!!!

Am I the only one here on this?....I think the first photo is doctored. I haven't been to Nairobi in a long while but I can tell those hills beyond Rahmutulla towers and rest of upperhill are fake. Any takers?

I think that shot is of ngong hills.but i could be wrong.

that is delta upperhill!

I think that shot is of ngong hills.but i could be wrong.

The Ngong hills are in the opposite direction. Thats why shots of Upperhill taken from the CBD feature those hills. I have an interesting theory to that picture. Nairobi sits on the edge of the highlands right, if you take a pic from the low plains on which the national park is located, the highlands tend to look elevated. The highlands in the pic IMO are those areas past Westlands for example Uplands (there is a reason most terrestrial TV and radio stations had their relay masts set up in that location).

Again, for those of you who have travelled west of Nairobi at night, Nairobi's lights look like they are spread out in a valley when one is around Sigona and Limuru.

Then again, why would anyone go to such lengths as to photoshop that pic.

I think that shot is of ngong hills.but i could be wrong.

its taken from Nairobi National Park, and is genuine, not photoshoped.:cheers:

Hi Guys

I’m currently conducting some research for my undergraduate dissertation concerning Kenya’s upcoming Presidential Elections. Attached is a link to my online survey which should only take only a few minutes to complete. I appreciate the opportunity to seek your views on issues relating to the 2012/13 elections and I assure you all responses are anonymous.

I need as many results as possible, so if you could forward this survey link to any relevant people or groups, I would be extremely grateful. Your Participation is a valued component of my research

Thanks!

Nairobi in some aerials actually looks somewhat small, yet the skyline looks larger (if you get what I mean).

I guess it's the greenery (just like Atlanta).
