Building professionals and policy makers have been urged to focus on green designs as a way of enhancing sustainability and protecting the environment. The Kenya Green Building Society (KGBS), of which Konza Technopolis is a member, will lead the country in a series of events that will include tree planting and a webinar on the role of green infrastructure in promoting sustainable cities and communities. Musyimi said the Konza Technopolis, as the pioneer smart city in the country, was implementing several green practices in its development to advance environmental conservation. “I commend the Konza Technopolis for working closely with the Kenya Green Building Society to be able to transform the green built environment at a city scale,” he said. The Sabis School located in Runda was awarded the Green Star Africa-Kenya PEB rating in recognition of its adoption of green practices.
