Winners of the ‘International Design Collaboration for Kenya’
UN-Habitat and Kenya’s Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development are pleased to announce the winners for the International Design Collaboration for Kenya (IDCK). The competition was held by UN-Habitat and the Ministry to seek creative planning and design ideas for sustainable urban development in Kenya. The competition was open to undergraduate and postgraduate students from around the world.
Through this design competition UN-Habitat and The State Department of Housing and Urban Development seeked to create a momentum for greater urban design application by demonstrating the value of urban design in implementing newly drafted city/town plans in Kenya.
It targeted nine cities/towns in Kenya: Mombasa, Malindi, Kitui, Machakos, Kiambu, Nyeri, Embu, Nakuru and Naivasha.
The shortlisted projects were exhibited at the United Nations Office in Nairobi, where an inauguration ceremony of the exhibition also was held for invited participants.
