Urban Planning for City Leaders: A Handbook for Kenya

Urban Library Sunday 11 February 2018, 17:00 - 18:00

Urban Library

#### Summary

Urban Planning for City Leaders is a valuable source of information, inspiration and ideas on urban planning that is designed for city leaders and decision makers at a critical moment in human history. Predicted human population growth over the next 50 years will have immense consequences for all cities, in particular intermediate cities with populations of up to two million people.

Developed countries will need to double the amount of urban space they have by 2050 to accommodate the expected numbers of people, whereas developing countries will need to expand their urban space by more than 300 per cent.

The Handbook for Kenya is tailored specifically to the context of urban planning within Kenya and as an advisory for its city leaders. The approaches can also be adapted to countries, cities and neighbourhoods looking for applicable strategies of planning.
