City Hall set to demolish seven colonial-era Nairobi estates

Hundreds of pre-colonial houses in Nairobi are set to be demolished to pave the way for high-rise residential units. This follows the signing of development contracts between City Hall and private financiers on Tuesday.

City Hall signed the first two of seven contracts for the redevelopment that will see ageing county-owned bungalows and residential blocks come down in the next two years.
