The beach and surrounds are well utilised by the public especially during holidays and over the weekends. However services and facilities provided are not sufficient and should be further improved to enhance its utility. Jomo Kenyatta Beach can be greatly improved with simple interventions.
PLANNING's proposal is focused on creation of public spaces that are well designed well defined inclusive and usable. Any interventions would be geared towards improving the user experience in what is already a highly utilized and popular beachfront. Access and circulation are improved and pedestrian movement is enhanced and prioritized.
