popizaino: Yes. ...I know very well,was suppose to major in Urban and regional planning so this things aren't knew to me. You can allow the idiot to keep fooling himself.
so as an idiot
You prefer living in terrible flats than owning your own beautiful low rise ?
rvp20182: Most modern cities have such apartments; TO AVOID WEST AFRICA URBAN SPRAWL OF low rises slums. These apartments mean everyone in Nairobi is not so far from CBD and their place of work. And we are just started. Nairobi need a million units of such high rise apartments.
sorry kid
You wont find such slum of pitiable buildings anywhere in West Africa.
In West Africa, when we decide to live in flats, it is classic flats and not such pitiable misery.
Your middle class live in such slums, it's no wonder that The poor lives in an even worse situation
vankelvin: I think I need to creat 2nd Vankelvin account cos I was banned last Sunday around 7pm that's why I couldn't comment throughout the daytime yesterday.
rvp20182: You perform worst than South Africa - which has horrible education standards except for a few great universities. That shows Ghana education is totally crap.
Goel: Indians at least have balls to try to be in competition, are dependent upon themselves for such things and even create world class products sometimes. What most African countries have achieved so far?
Just say you dont know much about Africa
The double deckers you see in London are produce by an Egyptian company( either Egypt or Morocco ) ive forgotton. India has nothing on African countries
rvp20182: The difference is now minimal. You just need to look at videos. Picture test. Nairobi is growing very fast.
High rises - Nairobi I believe will overtake Joburg very very soon if it hasn't already.
Roads. By next year - with completion of Nairobi Expresseway - Valley Road/Upperhill expansion with interchanges - Western By-Pass - James Gichuru-Rironi - the expansion of Eastern and Northern by-passes- the road infrastructure will be a few notches below Joburg. From there - I can only think about expanding very few roads - Kiambu, Limuru, Kamiti,Kangundo, maybe ABC - through Lavington. Nairobi would be there in roads.
BRT - we are getting about 60Km of BRT next year
Light rail - we have decent old MGR line that is being modernized - if we get more DMUs - we would be about there. Nairobi Railway City - and in the future - a proper light rail - will nail it.
Nairobi is fixing the water problem - at least huge part - with completion of Nairobi North Collector project. Sewage still is a problem.
Telecommunication - broadband - and likes - Nairobi has already overtaken Joburg.
Also if we get housing fixed - with social housing to replace slums and old estates - then Nairobi will be untouchable in Sub-Saharan Africa - South Africans will be come to see a modern city
As for Nairobi metro - there is huge infrastructure deficit there - it will be another 10-15yrs before Nairobi metro compete with Gauteng.
Kenyans have tried their best to build real estate - but paved roads are lacking, sewage system absent, water mostly boreholes, and there is no railway and mass transport - we need to invest heavily in Nairobi Metro - because those county gov cannot prioritize Nairobi metro over rural areas of the counties.
I heard, 60% of Kenyans live in those terrible slum apartment at Eastlands
Abohboy: Go backs few pages reply to my MTN and Ecobank thing you have shown your folly and stupidity come again trying to brag about ecobank which is a Nigerian owned and Nigerian founded bank, which has a large share of the Ghanaian financial market, yet you are calling Nigerians fraudsters and criminals.
