Calling Nairobi's students of the built environment.
We need your design skills and imagination to show us what a welcoming, walkable, and sustainable commercial corridor in Nairobi looks like. The Public Space Network (PSN), the Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK), the Kilimani Project Foundation (KPF), and the Town and County Planners Association of Kenya (TCPAK) are working on a new framework to support high-quality public spaces in Nairobi commercial districts. The concept known as Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) has been successfully implemented in cities across the globe including some African countries, helping local businesses to organize themselves and act collectively to improve security, accessibility, and public space management
VISION
To improve the quality of life for all Nairobians and make Nairobi a world-class city, by creating clean, safe, healthy, inclusive, vibrant and connected public spaces.
At the core of our mission is the belief that vibrant public spaces are not just a reflection of a city's character, but also play a pivotal role in fostering community cohesion, cultural expression, and economic vitality. By harnessing the power of collaboration and innovative urban planning, we aim to breathe new life into every corner of Nairobi, ensuring that each public space becomes a testimony to our collective dedication to a better urban life.
Recognized and registered under Kenya's Societies Act, we operate under the legal name Society for Promotion of Clean, Green, and Safe Cities. Our multifaceted approach encompasses advocacy, community engagement, sustainable design, and the implementation of projects that transcend mere functionality, transforming public spaces into thriving centers of inspiration, interaction and empowerment.
Public Space Network facilitates a conducive setting for community-led initiatives aimed at scaling up public space regeneration projects. By bridging community groups with essential stakeholders, PSN fosters a sustainable, city-wide approach to public space management through a collaborative Public-Private-People Partnership model.
