As cities have grown, however, there have been extreme cases of urban decay and degeneration. This is where urban regeneration can help. Urban regeneration moves beyond the aims, aspirations and achievements of urban renewal, which is seen more as a physical improvement of cities. A UN-Habitat urban sector profile shows that in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi slums absorb 75 per cent of the urban population growth and this is expected to double in the next 15 years. Borne out of this shortage, the Government should develop a comprehensive urban regeneration strategy.
