Kenya’s urban landscape is rapidly transforming due to population growth and the subsequent increased demand for housing.
Although high-rise developments alleviate the housing demand to some extent, they pose serious risks to the residents. These risks include environmental degradation, damaged infrastructure such as roads, sewers, water supply, stormwater drains and power supply, loss of privacy, loss of green spaces, noise, and air pollution. For those at risk, the law provides avenues to challenge developments in their neighbourhoods.
