In this class, we contrast New Urbanist principles and the Smart Code with suburban sprawl, and exaine the New Urbanist town of Seaside, Florida.
On Common Ground: Summer 2006
New Urbanism is Blooming
Perhaps the most valuable tool in the Smart Growth toolkit is New Urbanism. While Smart Growth principles support higher density, mixed-use, walkable environments, New Urbanism is proving to be the most successful method for making these Smart Growth goals achievable.
WalkUP Roslindale
WalkUP Roslindale is a community group founded last April that aims to make Roslindale, MA the most walkable neighborhood in Boston. The group has over 270 Facebook friends and 170 Twitter followers. Their mission is to promote walkability in collaboration with neighbors. Some achievements include engaging developers to support walkability projects, conducting a visioning session and survey for a proposed walking path connecting to the Arnold Arboretum, hosting a film series about urban policies, and performing a walk audit of Roslindale Square to identify priorities to address with city officials. Challenges include gaining support from agencies and overcoming concerns about reducing parking for walking/biking.

This document summarizes Judy Tymon's presentation on combining affordable housing and historic preservation. The presentation discussed two case studies, one in Newburyport, MA and one in Providence, RI. For the Newburyport project, the YWCA partnered with a developer to renovate a historic property and expand from 5 to 10 affordable housing units while maintaining the building's historic character. Cooperation between the non-profit, developer, and historic commission was key. The Providence project involved the renovation and new construction of over 200 affordable housing units on the Smith Hill neighborhood over many years through partnerships between a non-profit and various stakeholders. The presentation emphasized the importance of partnerships, funding, and cooperation/compromise for

#76 Good Urbanism – Fronting the Public Right of Way - BohnProject for Public Spaces & National Center for Biking and Walking
This document summarizes a presentation on good urbanism and fronting the public right of way. It includes:
1) An overview of the presentation given by Dr. Suja Lowenthal on the City of Long Beach's process to create a downtown plan through extensive community visioning and input. This resulted in design principles and an increased focus on walkability.
2) A description of the Long Beach visioning process led by Michael Bohn, which included community workshops and comparative city studies to create a vision statement and preliminary design concepts.
3) The presentation was part of a larger event on good urbanism and fronting the public right of way, with the third presenter being Stephanie Reich fromThe Next Big Thing Workshop Presentations
Glass House Collective was founded to bring life back to Glass Street and Glass Street back to life. The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop was intended to take Glass House Collective’s previous efforts to the next level by developing ideas that are basic, realistic and scalable. This three day conference started off with a kickoff featuring Mike Lydon discussing tactical urbanism and ended with 10 minute team presentations from the work nine teams developed in four hours in cross-disciplinary teams.
The Next Big Thing: Workshop Outcomes
The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop was an initiative to take previous design and community development efforts of Glass House Collective to the next level.
During a two-day intensive design workshop, over 100 workshop participants proposed ways to improve Glass Street while maintaining a realistic attitude about both big and small moves that, collectively, could begin to enhance the prospects for the neighborhood and its citizens.
Teams were asked to consider how improved urbanism could have a positive impact on various aspects of the neighborhood, including business viability, quality public spaces, access to services, improved housing options, increased public safety, and opportunities for the community to engage and contribute.
Designs needed to leverage the variety of assets that already exist in the community including physical places, existing businesses, individuals, organizations, previous accomplishments, and sections of the built environment.
What resulted were dozens of creative, realistic, and scalable urban revitalization tactics for improving residential, commercial, and public space within a 5 minute walk radius surrounding historic Glass Street, each contributing to the revitalization effort already underway. Designs specifically addressed implementation within 1 month, 1 year, 3 year time frames, prioritizing lighter, quicker, and cheaper techniques.
While not all the proposals generated will be implemented as designed, they will be the basis of successive small neighborhood workshops to explore specific concepts, projects, and implementation tactics reflecting the residential, commercial, and public space needs of the Glass Street community. Glass House Collective will work with the neighborhood to adapt designs, ultimately using a bunch of little things to create the next big thing on the street.
Using the lenses that Glass House Collective sees their work through, the Outcomes of The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop have been organized into three categories:
• Here Because We Love It Here, proposals focused on Creative Placemaking
• Bringing Life Back to Glass Street, proposals focused on Feet on the Streets
• The Next Big Thing, proposals focused on New Partnerships
Not all proposals developed during the workshop are included in this document; however, those that most closely meet the mission of Glass House Collective have been compiled and described in the pages that follow. The appendix lists all project proposals from each team.

Place RESI 2014: Kevin McGeough, Homes & Communities Agency
- Upton, Northampton is a 1,400 home neighbourhood on a 44 hectare site that was developed as part of Northampton's sustainable urban extension program. The development was master planned and had a design code produced to ensure high design quality over its 12 year build out. It has successfully delivered a variety of housing types of consistently high design and has maintained sales through the recession by increasing densities. However, providing the intended mixed-use village center has proven difficult. The development's sustainable drainage system has allowed building in a flood risk area.

The State of Scott's Addition 2019
The document discusses the state of Scott's Addition neighborhood in Richmond, VA in 2019. It provides an overview of the neighborhood's growth in recent years with an influx of breweries, restaurants, apartments, and young professionals. It then summarizes the Scott's Addition Boulevard Association's (SABA) goals for 2019, which include conducting traffic and parking studies, expanding green space and multi-use paths, improving infrastructure, and growing the organization. Finally, it previews several major development projects expected to begin in the neighborhood in 2019.
27 boxes - Shipping container development in Melville
The proposed plans are for a unique retail space in Melville, Johannesburg, using shipping containers as the modules of the design. The proposed development is intended for Faan Smit Park and will combine green space with retail. Tenants will include artists, designers and retailers of niche products. Two containers have been reserved for local community organisations.
Housing Task Force Work Session #4
This document summarizes a community meeting to discuss the redevelopment plans for the Sharswood/Blumberg neighborhoods in Philadelphia. The agenda covered providing an update on the planning process to date, discussing possible redevelopment and infill housing options, and having breakout groups to gather community priorities. Key discussion points included plans for the first phase of redevelopment at the Norman Blumberg apartment site, priorities around vacant land, amenities, jobs, and maintaining affordable housing. Community members provided input on creating a walkable neighborhood with local businesses, community spaces, and mixed-income housing that supports existing residents.
NJ Redevelopment Forum 2020 - Bucci-Carter
This document discusses smart growth and form-based code approaches to community planning. Smart growth encourages compact, walkable development with a mix of uses, housing types, and transportation options. Form-based code regulates physical form to achieve a specific urban context. It uses standards for streets, blocks, and building heights/types to create predictable, vibrant neighborhoods. Both approaches aim to integrate development, reduce sprawl, foster livability and sustainability for people of all ages.
Urban infill
This document discusses infill development and provides guidance on how to implement an effective infill development program. It defines infill development as new construction on vacant or underutilized urban lots. An effective program includes identifying desired areas for infill, development guidelines, and incentives. It recommends involving stakeholders and provides types of infill development and their benefits, such as making better use of land and replacing abandoned areas. Potential barriers to infill are also identified.
Proposed Garden City Zoning in Kawit, Cavite
The document proposes an urban planning concept called "Revitalization" for Kawit, Cavite. It involves three main strategies: Revitalize, Revive, and Relight. Revitalize reconfigures streets with center parking and landscaping. Revive makes sidewalk extensions for pedestrian safety. Relight installs new energy-efficient street lighting. It also discusses the Garden City Movement, which promotes planned, self-sufficient towns surrounded by greenbelts that integrate residences, industry and agriculture. Applying this model to Kawit could provide social and economic benefits through compact, walkable and mixed-use development.

- Developing sustainable buildings and public spaces that add to the local identity and character through high quality and innovative designs that use renewable energy and passive cooling/heating.
- Transforming housing to improve diversity and affordability for families, elderly, students and those with disabilities through mixed density and housing types like co-ops and group housing.
- Enhancing connectivity within the area and to public transport through improved footpaths, cycle paths, public transport routes and links between community spaces.
Middleport self-build – a case study, Mick Downs
Slides used by Mick Downs, Urban Vision Enterprise CIC, at the Big Local ‘Improving housing’ study visit, organised as part of the Local Trust programme of networking and learning events for Big Local residents. The visit took place from Monday 24 to Tuesday 25 February 2014 and our hosts for the visit were the Leigh West Big Local area.
Urban Vision Enterprise is a Community Interest Company with a particular focus on urban development and heritage. They have worked with a range of communities that have decided to develop a neighbourhood plan, and in fact wrote the Locality ‘Neighbourhood Plans Roadmap Guide’ (http://planning.communityknowledgehub.org.uk/resource/neighbourhood-plans-roadmap-guide)
This is the second of two sets of slides Mick used. This one focuses on how one community set about developing ideas for a community self-build project. Although the intention had initially been to use the community right to build, the community has ended up deciding to go through a more traditional planning route.

Small sites -large potential
The document discusses Dublin's housing crisis and overcrowded social housing waiting list. It proposes expanding the Living City initiative to regenerate Dublin's inner city by developing small vacant sites through a revised scheme that eliminates floor area limits and streamlines the development process. Examples from Amsterdam demonstrate the potential of self-build housing to efficiently develop small sites and increase housing supply.
Broadway 360 Opening Presentation
The document outlines a presentation for a neighborhood plan on Broadway Avenue in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It includes an introduction to the study and process, key outcomes from a community summit, observations from experts on the area, and existing conditions. Challenges to address include defining the area's character, appropriate new development forms, enhancing pedestrian experiences, transitions to adjacent neighborhoods, parking issues, and traffic strategies.
URBAN PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN PORTFOLIO
This document summarizes an urban planning project to upgrade a slum called Bannyahe in Kigali, Rwanda. The project aimed to improve living conditions through community participation. Key interventions included constructing roads, drainage, water and sanitation infrastructure, and developing nodes for education, administration, commerce, and community/social activities. The master plan implementation was divided into four phases over 25 years to redevelop the area with improved housing, facilities, and public spaces while avoiding relocation. Guidelines were also provided to respect the master plan and address issues like stormwater management.
My p lace ass 2
The document proposes two creative placemaking projects in Cleveland, Redlands City:
1. Ignite Redlands - A 3-day light art festival featuring a twilight art market, living light art gallery, and nightly light art parades along Bloomfield Street.
2. THE LightHAUS - An architectural design competition and construction of a free-standing limited-life pavilion to be used for public and arts events.
The goals are to reinvigorate the area, increase tourism and local trade, involve the arts and business communities, and encourage creativity in Cleveland. Key stakeholders include local government, the public, creative professionals, retailers, and local businesses.
Creating a Neighborhood Retail Strategy
The document discusses revitalization efforts for the Buckeye Road commercial district in Cleveland, Ohio. It describes the historic Hungarian neighborhood that is now mostly African American, with high commercial vacancy rates and crime concerns. The Buckeye Area Development Corporation purchased a vacant three-story historic bank building in 1999 and fully leased it, though not for retail uses. Various initiatives were established to improve the commercial corridor through festivals, facade improvements, promotion, and safety patrols. A core area development strategy proposed concentrating retail, designating nodes for auto-oriented retail, pedestrian-oriented art and culture, and higher density housing. The efforts have reduced retail vacancies from over 30% to around 10% and attracted many new businesses and organizations.
Opportunity Roxbury: A Look at the Future
This document discusses development plans for Lower Roxbury. It notes that the area has high rates of violent crime and poverty. However, it also has opportunities for new development on underutilized public land. Over 2.5 million square feet of new development is underway, including 700 residential units and over 70,000 square feet of retail space. The document identifies several focus areas for development, such as the Orange Line corridor, Dudley Square, and areas near Boston Medical Center. The goal is to thoughtfully develop open spaces and create new opportunities that benefit the whole Lower Roxbury community.
Part I Chinatown Then and Now
The document analyzes gentrification trends in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia Chinatowns between 1990 and 2010. It finds that while Asians remain the largest ethnic group, their share of the population has decreased in all three Chinatowns as the white population grows faster than in the overall cities. The share of foreign-born residents and family households has also declined in the Chinatowns. Housing values and rents have risen substantially in the Chinatowns, surpassing or approaching city-wide averages, indicating gentrification.

However, it also has opportunities for new development on underutilized public land. Over 2.5 million square feet of new development is underway, including 700 residential units and over 70,000 square feet of retail space. The document identifies several focus areas for development, such as the Orange Line corridor, Dudley Square, and areas near Boston Medical Center. The goal is to thoughtfully develop open spaces and create new opportunities that benefit the whole Lower Roxbury community.
Part I Chinatown Then and Now
The document analyzes gentrification trends in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia Chinatowns between 1990 and 2010. It finds that while Asians remain the largest ethnic group, their share of the population has decreased in all three Chinatowns as the white population grows faster than in the overall cities. The share of foreign-born residents and family households has also declined in the Chinatowns. Housing values and rents have risen substantially in the Chinatowns, surpassing or approaching city-wide averages, indicating gentrification.
Agent based simulation of GENTRIFICATION
This document discusses theories of gentrification from both production and consumption perspectives. It proposes using an agent-based model to simulate gentrification by coupling economic and cultural dynamics. The model represents agents with different incomes and cultures living in a city with neighborhoods that vary in property prices and conditions. Agents decide to move based on cultural dissonance with neighbors and property decay/price increases. The model shows how increasing investment leads to population changes, cultural uniformity, and cycles of investment and disinvestment that resemble gentrification and displacement patterns. Future work could improve agent heterogeneity and mobility and integrate actual city data.
Gentrification In West Town
This document discusses the gentrification of West Town in Chicago from the 1950s to present. It describes how urban renewal displaced low-income, mostly minority residents through policies and marketing tactics that excluded these groups. Real estate agents played a key role in acquiring cheap housing and networking affluent buyers to steadily expand gentrification. Government and private organizations supported gentrification over efforts to address the needs of long-term residents through affordable housing or community services. The Puerto Rican community in particular struggled against displacement that threatened their culture, community, and place to live.

On July 20, 2015, funders and practitioners working on gentrification and displacement issues in California convened to deepen a shared understanding of the problems and solutions and lay the foundation for potential alignment of strategies.Gentrification
Gentrification occurs when an area improves through investments which attract new businesses and wealthier residents, driving up rents and forcing out lower-income inhabitants. While redevelopment aims to solve sanitation issues in slums like Dharavi in India, residents question if private development will price them out without consultation on more affordable solutions that prioritize community needs over profits. The document suggests working with residents to determine if development is really the answer or if focusing on public health alone could help existing communities thrive.
Urban Gentrification
The document discusses urban gentrification in the Benson neighborhood of Omaha. It defines gentrification as the process where a low-value neighborhood is transformed into a high-value area. It notes changes already taking place in downtown Benson and asks if residents feel they have been for the better. The Benson-Ames Neighborhood Alliance has a plan to revitalize the area. It discusses the characteristics of gentrification and provides other examples like Old Market and North Loop in Omaha. It asks how gentrification affects lower-income residents and what the causes may be, discussing production-side and consumption-side theories. Finally, it asks if urban gentrification is a good idea.
Gentrification
Gentrification is the process of renovating homes in deteriorated urban neighborhoods by middle-class or affluent people, often displacing lower-income families. The document refers to "yuppy flats" being built in the inner city area of Byker in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, likely leading to the displacement of existing residents as new homes are constructed and property values rise. The specific area mentioned is Byker Wall, a large housing estate located in Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Urban renewal and controlled gentrification 1.09.03
This document is a dissertation by Jorge López de Obeso for his Master's degree in Housing and Urbanism from the Architectural Association London. It discusses urban renewal and controlled gentrification. The introduction provides an overview of gentrification as a process of urban change that involves neighborhood improvement but commonly includes the displacement of existing residents by wealthier newcomers. It proposes the concept of "controlled gentrification" as a renewal process that maintains existing residents while also accommodating new, wealthier residents. The document is divided into three parts that will analyze gentrification theory, case studies of renewal that balanced existing and new residents, and how spatial design can generate and illustrate controlled gentrification.
Gentrification AS Geog
Gentrification refers to the process of renovating deteriorated neighborhoods through investments by wealthier residents, often leading to increased property values and the displacement of long-time, usually lower-income, residents. It transforms working-class areas into more affluent, middle-class communities and changes the social character of neighborhoods. Gentrification is a complex issue with both positive and negative impacts.
Swot Analysis of Boston
Boston is one of the oldest cities in America, founded in 1630, with a population of over 620,000 within the city and 4.5 million in the greater Boston area. The city's economy is based on industries like research, electronics, engineering, finance, and biotechnology. As a senior consultant hired by the municipal government, the goal is to develop the tourism sector by encouraging further investment. Boston's strengths that could support this include being a center for higher education and medicine, its walkable neighborhoods and attractions, and comfortable summer weather. However, gentrification and cold winters present weaknesses. Opportunities lie in Boston already being one of the top tourist destinations and financial hubs. Threats include potential
Gentrification and regeneration
Urban renewal is the process of redeveloping areas of moderate to high density urban land use. It often involves relocating businesses and demolishing structures to redevelop land. While proponents see it as improving economic and living conditions, critics argue it can displace existing communities. Early examples include Haussmann's redesign of Paris in the 1850s and the redevelopment of Rome from 1925-1950. Urban renewal aims to revitalize city centers and gentrify neighborhoods but has also demolished some neighborhoods in the past.

The document discusses the critical state of the Earth in 2019, with rising temperatures, sea levels, and extinction risks. It argues that sustainability is not possible without transformative change, and that protecting and restoring biodiversity through measures like halting forest destruction, protecting half of lands/oceans, and restoring degraded ecosystems is key to maintaining a livable climate. Specifically, restoring water cycles through practices like wetland protection is important as carbon follows the water and biodiversity is needed to support healthy water and carbon cycles. The document calls for a shift to prioritizing nature in decision-making to transition to a net carbon sink status through these transformative conservation and restoration measures.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
