Nairobi has the highest growth rates per annum compared to the other growth rates in Africa. 75% of the urban population growth is absorbed by informal settlements. The number of urban population living in slums will double in the next 15years. Informal settlements cover only 5% of the total residential land area of the city, but they are inhabited by at least half of the city’s population.
