Dickson Chomba shares how Kamukunji Park is transforming from a dumpsite to a vibrant public space. He shares his vision of the park hosting weddings, birthdays & photoshoots. We’re proud to support this under the #YouthCityProject. @dreamtownngo #Placemaking

Korogocho Park is proof that even the most neglected places can be transformed. What was once a landfill is now a vibrant public space full of life and community. We support grassroots groups like @KombGreen making this transformation possible. #UrbanTransformation

Income generating activities in parks are key to both sustainability and local livelihoods. Through the #YouthCityProject, we’re supporting entrepreneurship in Dandora, Kamukunji & Korogocho parks. Recent reviews gave us insights to help these ventures grow! #Parks #Nairobi

Evans Otieno shares his vision for Dandora Community Park, now a vibrant hub for schoolkids, events & livelihoods. Through the Youth City Project, we are boosting its sustainability via placemaking & youth entrepreneurship. #Placemaking

Public spaces aren't a luxury, they are at the heart of a healthy city. It’s where we connect, move, protest, play, rest, and thrive. Public spaces boosts health, community, climate, and local economies. A city without public spaces is a city without soul. #Placemaking
