From 11 to 14 November, Thomas is part of the UN-Habitat team supporting the sustainable urban development sector in Kenya as part of the Kenyan Municipal Programme (KMP). He will conduct a learning session for decision makers and a two-day workshop for planners and municipal staff.
UN-Habitat started training on the “Urban Planning for City Leaders (UPCL)” guide as part of its capacity development initiative in September 2013. Under this initiative, several trainings have been successfully delivered around the world.
The rapid planning studio aims at informing local leaders of each town/county about the value that urban planning could bring to their counties and to facilitate a collaborative dialogue between local leaders, policy makers, and planners on urban development, especially on the themes of public space, densification, urban patterns, and connectivity, including the importance of legal frameworks and urban economy.
