Urban Development Proposal for Kisumu City
Kisumu, the 3rd largest city in Kenya, is seeking to develop its lakefront areas through a $50 million BOT arrangement for infrastructure. The project aims to enhance mixed-use and recreational spaces to boost urban sustainability and create job opportunities. Issues such as underutilized prime land near the lake and challenges in land value capture are being addressed. Results from the Regulatory and Co-financing Assessment indicate areas for improvement to maximize the city's potential. The proposed developments include water management, pathways, green spaces, and public facilities to benefit residents and visitors alike.
