| dc.description.abstract | This paper develops two lines of thought about how the discipline and profession of architecture can
become critical players in the delivery of Vision 2030 in Kenya. The first dimension argues for the
recognition of creativity as a critical input in the delivery of the mission. The paper sees the Department of
Architecture and Building Science as an important facilitator in the development of creative thinking at the
University and calls for the strengthening of this aspect. The paper also sees the profession of
architecture as the other key player. For the organized profession, the paper urges an embrace of urban
design as a strategically important part of the profession, and the application of this to the growing
settlements. To tie the two together, the paper urges an adoption of a media strategy to help raise
awareness and harness public participation | en |
