Presentation to the People of Kibera on Slum Upgrading. Case Study of Silanga Village

Abstract

The growth of the urban population, which has resulted from both natural population growth and rural- urban migration, has led to an increased demand for resources required to meet the consequent demand for infrastructure services (Olima 2001). Statistical analysis shows that the rank size distribution of the urban places that comprise this urban population is and will be well distributed, corresponding to what regional geographers would consider as balanced (GOK 1993:7)
