Old Nairobi estates to pave way for 100,000 new houses

With the proposed development of 100,000 new housing units and renovation of existing homes, Nairobi is set for a major face-lift. Several regions of the capital have already been identified for the construction of the new houses. This redevelopment project will ride on the back of a County Comprehensive Urban Renewal Programme (ECURP), Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero says.

These are Old and New Ngara, Pangani, Jeevanjee/ Bachelors, Ngong Road Inspectorate staff quarters, Uhuru and Suna Road.
