Cast your gaze upon Nairobi and the neglect of planning becomes starkly evident. Each county boasts its own planning department, tasked with ensuring that essential infrastructure - water, sewerage, power, and roads - is in place before the erection of any edifice. Legend has it that in 1973, Singapore sought inspiration from Nairobi's master plan for the ensuing 25 years. Instead, they beheld an urban quagmire, a far cry from the orderly city envisioned in the master plan. Parcels are subdivided ad infinitum, devoid of coordination or infrastructure planning.
