The City Makers of Nairobi re‑examines the history of the urban development of Nairobi in the colonial period. Although Nairobi was a colonial construct with lasting negative repercussions, the African population’s impact on its history and development is often overlooked. This book shows how Africans took an active part in using the city and creating it, and how they were far from being merely subjects in the development of a European colonial city.
This reinterpretation of Nairobi’s history suggests that the post‑colonial city is the result of more than unjust and segregative colonial planning. Merging historical documentation with extensive contemporary urban theory, the book provides in‑depth knowledge of the key historical roles played by locals in the development of their city. It argues that the idea of agency, a popular inroad to urban development today, is not a recent phenomenon but one that has always existed with many social, spatial, and physical ramifications.
The City Makers of Nairobi is an ideal read for upper‑level undergraduate and graduate students studying the history of urban development and theory, offering an in‑depth case study for reference. It broaches interdisciplinary themes important to urban planners, social scientists, historians, and those working with popular settlements in cities worldwide.
