Kariobangi is situated to the North-est of Nairobi city at a distance of about 10 km from the City centre and industrial area. It is located within the low-income residential area. Kari obangi was the first site and service scheme in Kenya which was a resettlement scheme for the squaters whQ were living I at Pumwani/Gikomba which is too near the City centre. The land was formally public land and was leased to the Nairobi City Council (rrowNairobi City Commission) on a 99 year lease to / ..! develop a low-cost housing project based on the site and service schemes concept. This concept is at present very common in Kenya. The Council provided plots, the infrastruct~ \services and commuriity facilities. 1989-01-25T00:00:00Z http://erepository.uonbi.ac.ke/handle/11295/98256 Site and service schemes in Kenya Straaten, Van J.

Therefore, as an effective alternative to the construction of complete ION cost dwe Ll.Lnqa completely financed by public funds, for which the low income group cannot pay, the construction of schemes providing plots and services alonG, financed from public and private resources has beeh introduced as a realistic approach for low-cost housing called'S ite and ~ervice g chemes 1977-05-09T00:00:00Z http://erepository.uonbi.ac.ke/handle/11295/98187 Metric Symposium University College Nairobi University of Nairobi 1967-01-01T00:00:00Z http://erepository.uonbi.ac.ke/handle/11295/98179 Origins and characteristics of migrants: a spatial Analysis Tlucho, J.O. 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z
