Kenyans Reject 75-Floor Buildings in Nairobi

In this video, we cover the overwhelming rejection of Nairobi's proposed 75-floor development policy by stakeholders during the public participation exercise held from February 18-20, 2025. Residents, professional associations, and developers voiced strong concerns over the policy's impact on the city's infrastructure, safety, and overall urban planning. The proposed policy aimed to allow high-rise buildings of up to 75 stories in certain areas of Nairobi, including Upper Hill and surrounding zones. However, experts, including the Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK), warned that the city's existing infrastructure—roads, water, sewerage, and public transport—is already under strain and unable to support such developments. Without significant upgrades, these high-rise buildings could worsen traffic congestion, water shortages, and sanitation problems. The video highlights the risks associated with poorly planned high-rise developments, drawing comparisons to cities like Jakarta and Mumbai, which have faced urban decay and infrastructural collapse due to rapid, uncoordinated growth. Furthermore, Nairobi's history of building collapses due to weak enforcement and poor construction practices adds to the concerns about the safety of such massive structures. Rather than pushing for unregulated height limits, stakeholders call for a more balanced approach to urban development. They advocate for substantial investments in infrastructure, stricter zoning regulations, and sustainable urban planning practices to ensure the city's growth aligns with its infrastructure capabilities. Watch this video to learn more about why Nairobi must focus on thoughtful urban planning to avoid the risks associated with unchecked high-rise developments and preserve its future as the "Green City Under the Sun." #NairobiDevelopment #PublicParticipation #UrbanPlanning #HighRiseBuildings #AAK #InfrastructureConcerns #NairobiSkyline #BuildingCollapses #CityPlanning #SustainableCities #UrbanGrowth #NairobiPolicy #KenyaUrbanization #InfrastructureCrisis #CityDevelopment #KenyaNews #UrbanSafety #Nairobi2025 #C40Cities #UrbanResilience #JohnsonSakaja #NairobiCounty
