An alternative African New Town paradigm: Filling gaps of New Towns’ exclusive design towards social cohesion.
Tatu City/Nairobi, Kenya
New Towns are a relatively recent phenomenon in Africa. Ideologically, they should be the solution for economic and population growth. Instead they often create more social, economic and spatial issues. This research aims to find the reasons of deepening socio-spatial polarisation within New Towns that lead to socio-spatial exclusion. On the grounds of these insights it will propose alternative solutions for inclusive New Towns design.
