- There's a significant rise in the number of high - rises in Kilimani, Kileleshwa and Upper Hill.
We look at the reasons why and what is leaving planners and environmentalist worried.
Excellent production and theme
Ahsante sana bro. I am your biggest fun. Your comedy is top notch
@@KenyanHistorian Another Informative vedio Vedio Thanks alot +44
Vikta Utaweza kukaa pahali hakuna kisiagi? Tupatane huko mbele😄😄😄
@@mstevens832 Unasema Victor asiposikia sauti ya kisiagi anahama?
No the production isn't excellent. The presenter keeps talking with wired 's' pronunciations that isn't normal
Great job! Putting up high density buildings while the road network remains the same as 60 years ago. Trust our Kenyan urban planners to take idiocy to be next level
Welcome to Kenya. Every decision is made without looking into the future. And also sewage and water system was designed for single homes. Oil the right people and you get building permits.
Very sad state of affairs
Buffles me each time..putting up nice buildings sorrounded by poor roads and water/sewer systems.
i thought am alone pointing this out because the minute i mention this i get attacked for being 'jealous and pessimistic'
It’s very disappointing that Kenya hasn’t taken this opportunity to show the most incredible urbanisation and integration with trees/plants. It’s much too crowded and there will be a rise in health issues because of it. When will governments understand that a healthy happy population is a more productive population if they need to see the fiscal benefit.
I totally agree!
AIN'T NO GOVERNMENT IN BLACK CORRUPTED AFRIKA
When ordinary residents are more rational than the planners
Ni pesa. The city council is making more with these highrises and business blocks
Development is good but without proper Urban planning Nairobi will end up being very ugly.
I totally agree James.
facts
Public officials and Private developers are of a different mentality
Growing up in upperhill I have literally watched it turn from a green area and everytime I go back something new has sprung up,it actually traumatised me at some point,all the wildlife moved to our compound and everywhere was just offices
I can imagine Koei
I totally feel you. Born and bred in kileleshwa i feel like a stranger when I visit now. The most traumatic is the FILTH. just concrete badly designed high rises and dirt. ALL Nairobians deserve better. And for the record, city planning has nothing to do with being classist. It is about good, attractive habitats for all. Rich and poor.
@@nairobichik Agreed. Europe has continued to resist too much skyscrapers and high-rises.
You got a narration talent..that is Gods given no doubt...Good job and keep up...Always waiting for a new video
Thanks for you support @Patrick Munene. Thanks big time
@@KenyanHistorian welcome...I appreciate..I love documentaries but your work and voice has a touch of uniqueness.
It pains me to see the formerly open, green and breathable Kile, Kilimani, Lavington etc neighbourhoods getting drowned out by almost Hong-Kong-esque squeezed in high risers.
This is what I call uncontrolled and uncontrollable development. The infrastructure will be suffering even more with the high influx of new residents. Maji, stima, sewage, traffic, how will it cope?
Great content btw. Subscribed.
So sad went to Lavington primary the areas were beautiful
Good work on the documentary, high quality camerawork, maybe tone down a little on the sound effects,
Your skills in journalism is top notch... videography, editing, narration... everything is unique.. this and chamwada's channels are my favorites
Thanks Paul. We appreciate so much
One of the best Kenyan content around! Great work...
This is good workmanship. Better than what we get in some mainstream media. Kudos bro. May God reward your labour and bless the work of your hands. Shalom
Good thing for architects but not such a good thing for Nairobi's greenery. Most apartments are pure concrete with no grass or trees. Has the council planned for sewerage systems, drainage systems, public transport systems etc? Soon Nairobi will look like Dubai; flats all over.
I can see the roads are still narrow with no side walks . The city needs to put some of the money they are getting back in to improving the community.
@@TonnyOkello planning has always been a problem for Kenyan towns. We value real estate development at every available space over anything else. In Kisii, it is terrible
@@heatherwanjuguna4629 Oh you need to visit my Uganda 🇺🇬 to see real disorganization. Boda boda crisscrossing everywhere makes it worse
@@heatherwanjuguna4629 more of implementation of plans being a problem. I recently came across the proposed land use plans of Nakuru and Eldoret from the late 60s/early 70s and the difference between what is on paper and what was actualized is shocking.
It's the first time coming across your channel... Expectations were low but man! Your narration caught me off... Uko poa, keep up the good work
Thanks Daniel. Be blessed
Greed and short-sightedness is what's brought about this current mess. It's so unfortunate
In my formative years, Kileleshwa was charming . I remember been entranced by its beauty, greenery and security . Unbeknown to most, Kile was idyllic, tranquil and beautiful !Urbanisation of this magnitude is blighting.
Commuting will only get worse. The government now needs to invest in mass transit systems such as BRT, Light rail and trams.
3:44 - 3:51 once upon a time...we really need to talk about #Greenspaces and the rate of deterioration. A balance has to be created. Please do a documentary on it
Amazing video...I'm just started doing vlogs of Garissa Town but I'm not as good as you. Congrats 👏
Your narration ability is exceptional and unmatched. This peace is nothing but the best.

Thank you so much.
Good one Cap!
New subscriber here. Awesome content, quite detailed and informative. It's nice to see you interviewing Constance Cap - he's passionate about Urban planning.
Another challenge arising from all these developments is overloading of existing utility services capacity; the electricity, water & sewage infrastructure that were designed for low density population have not been upgraded to handle high density population. Disaster in the making.
I agree. It's a big problem in the making
Problem is that someone people are waiting for the problem to belge
Keep it up!!.document more and more....we support you
Thank you so much for your support.
I love the content, and the background track, so serene

Thank you so much Chris. We are aiming to make it even better and we really appreciate your support
No wonder, gated communities are the new norm to discourage such from happening in the future. Great job @Kenyan Historian.
Love the voice and theme...you need to be a news anchor
Makes you see Nairobi in a different perspective, things are moving fast
good work i love your narration...keep working and you might just end up owning a couple of apartments right here in kile
Thank you so much ooh. Be blessed
Kudos man, that was top notch.
I LOVE THIS VLOG DOCUMENTARY🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A great piece of work!!
Thank you so much Tonny
Nice documentary keep it up bro
Nice work 👌🏾
Very interesting topic.
How about the drainage system of all this construction? did the county took that in consideration?
Hey bro, great work. Perhaps I could suggest you synchronize your music audio with the pace and change of your videos. Deepens the immersion.
Thanks Seremani. Will surely look at it. We appreciate your support sir.
Nicely done, new subscriber
You are doing a good job
Excellent narrator!
What the heck !!!! I thought this was a feature story from a leading tv station.
Authentic, Professional & Informative Documentary (Docu-Series), very good research, edits, diction & narration. Good job
Thank you so much. We appreciate
Hi, do you know about curiosity stream? It is a global platform for documentary films. I watched a Swedish TH-cam ‘Kalle’ who shared two online platforms. Please look it up👆🏽👍💯

Good work. Your documentaries are ever topnotch
Thank you so much Treliks. Be blessed
The way employers paying nice salos moved from CBD to Upper Hill and Westlands is exactly the same way they're gonna move to Kiambu. KWAL, a parastatal, has already moved to Kiambu.
I salute you bro
Concrete jungle.
I like those update bro big up
Thank you so much
I like the way the historian introduces himself.
high rises are not a good thing, encourage young people to build thy own places and expand development outside nairobi... also, zoning laws should be parmanent, for the environment
I'm all for reasonably spreading out development so as to avoid congestion in the few cities we have. However, properly planned high rises are definitely good since they're a more efficient use of space. It'd be incredibly wasteful to let millions have their own residential and commercial plots/stand-alones. Not to mention the wildlife displacement and destruction necessary to accomodate such selfish desires. Unless we drastically depopulate, properly planned high rises are the way forward, particularly the sustainable, eco-friendly models.
the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat(CTBUH) defines a megatall building as one that reaches 600m,a supertall 300m and a skycrapper 150 meters.Great progress in respect to those areas but those buildings are no where near the megatall description
But they are high rises, aren't they, if it's vocabulary you are after? Upper hill is the only place so far likely to have more of what you re looking for
What's missing in this presentation is _what_ is driving this so-called investment? Who is/are financing these buildings? And how are they getting approved? (In contravention of planning laws/regulations)
Most likely, the Chinese. Be aware.
@ comrade jackso answered somewhere above.
Its better than Karen... which is literally separated from Kibra...by a road
Superb man, keep it up
Thank you so much
Narration 👏👏👏👏
This is super presented
Thank you so much
I look forward to many more of the same. I subscribed
KENYA HAS REALLY GROWN ,WITH NO OIL MONEY,VERY BLESSED
Hey, brother, nice commentary, show us more.
Thanks ndugu
I have come one year later and I will continue watching more
Narration💯
Your support is highly appreciated
Which is better to stay for visiting and wanting to hang out? kilimani , kileleshwa, or Westlands?
Staroot Developers is still the Contactor. He's everything. A Chinese Developer paying Casual Labourers KSh 300/- a day with no safety equipment working on such heights
You have good cameras
when panning check the shutter speed please
It's the fake typing at 15:20 for me.
😂😂

Watu wajenge it will help the economy sana❤
ITS CLOSE TO JOHN ALLAN NAMUS'🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kenya 🇰🇪, your country is beautiful… keep on building new roads and pavements… there one thing I’m worry about over crowded and more traffics!!!
@@Simon_Nzioki totally agree 👍🏿
The City Council must be making a lot of money hapo.
The super rich should move to Karen and kitisuru and Muthaiga. Kenyans have gotten employment opportunities. Nice documentary. Area no should check on the roads
This must be enock sikolia
Mimi nashuku ni Francis Gachuri bwana
Me too, Enock
