The Land Use and Development Policy Project is a critical initiative designed to shape the future of urban development in Kenya by addressing the relationship between land use and transportation infrastructure. This project focuses on creating a clear, well-defined policy framework that will guide sustainable urban growth while accommodating essential transportation needs.

By developing and implementing comprehensive land use policies, this project aims to create urban spaces that are not only functional and well-planned but also sustainable and conducive to multimodal transportation systems. The project will prioritize the integration of non-motorized transport infrastructure, such as cycling lanes, pedestrian walkways, and green spaces, into urban planning efforts.

The policy framework will also provide guidelines for mixed-use development, where residential, commercial, and recreational spaces are seamlessly integrated, reducing the need for long commutes and promoting walkability. Additionally, the project will focus on zoning regulations that prioritize public transport accessibility, ensuring that future urban development aligns with the goals of the overall transport strategy.

Key Features of the Project:

• Sustainable Urban Growth: Developing policies that guide the growth of cities in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.
• Integration of Non-Motorized Transport: Incorporating walking and cycling infrastructure into urban planning to reduce reliance on private vehicles.
• Mixed-Use Development: Encouraging the development of residential and commercial spaces in close proximity to public transport hubs to reduce commuting distances.
• Zoning for Public Transport: Creating zoning regulations that promote accessibility to public transportation, ensuring the city grows in line with transport planning.

This project will play a pivotal role in ensuring that land use and urban development are aligned with the broader goals of improving urban mobility, reducing congestion, and creating sustainable, livable cities for future generations.
