It provides initial policy options in several key areas including housing and basic services, land use and transport, planning, subnational finance, and local economic development. These are not the only areas of concern for Kenya’s urban practitioners and policy makers. But they were identified as areas for more in-depth study during initial stakeholder consultations and as key priorities in consultations with government experts. It is hoped that the Review will serve to raise understanding of the important opportunity that urbanization presents for the country, informing policy makers and interested parties alike and expanding dialogue on Kenya’s urbanization. The review is laid out in three parts. The first looks at some of the demographic, economic, and spatial trends of Kenya’s urban areas (chapter one). The second describes the challenges or threats to a smooth urban transition: large, growing informality and inequality within and between urban areas, in three categories of access (chapters two, three, and four). The third examines the modern institutions needed to address the challenges head on and to ensure that Kenya’s cities have the opportunity to serve as true drivers of economic growth (chapters five, six, and seven). 2016-02-25T20:58:35Z 2016-02-25T20:58:35Z 2016-02-16 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/02/25928301/kenya-urbanization-review http://hdl.handle.net/10986/23753 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Urban Study Economic & Sector Work Africa Kenya |

This Kenya urbanization review takes a
deep look at Kenya’s urbanization process. It provides
initial policy options in several key areas including
housing and basic services, land use and transport,
planning, subnational finance, and local economic
development. These are not the only areas of concern for
Kenya’s urban practitioners and policy makers. But they were
identified as areas for more in-depth study during initial
stakeholder consultations and as key priorities in
consultations with government experts. It is hoped that the
Review will serve to raise understanding of the important
opportunity that urbanization presents for the country,
informing policy makers and interested parties alike and
expanding dialogue on Kenya’s urbanization. The review is
laid out in three parts. The first looks at some of the
demographic, economic, and spatial trends of Kenya’s urban
areas (chapter one). The second describes the challenges or
threats to a smooth urban transition: large, growing
informality and inequality within and between urban areas,
in three categories of access (chapters two, three, and
four). The third examines the modern institutions needed to
address the challenges head on and to ensure that Kenya’s
cities have the opportunity to serve as true drivers of
economic growth (chapters five, six, and seven). |
