Community Driven Public Space Rehabilitation in Turkana, Kenya

UN-Habitat’s Public Space Programme has been supporting the engagement of communities internationally in revitalizing their neighborhoods through public space designs, such as the creation of court yards, streets and shared facilities etc. Participants are taught in an engaging and creative way on how to visualize the potentials of public spaces within their neighborhoods. Not only can this provide for better management of public spaces within the Kalobeyei New Settlement or Kalobeyei Town, in Turkana County, Kenya, it also supports the Kalobeyei New Settlement’s transition from a short-term, emergency planning to long-term, sustainable development model.
