The document presents a landscape architectural design project for a proposed Medical Industrial City in Nakuru, Kenya. A student team from Texas A&M University proposes a master plan for the city that includes (1) a medical campus with hospitals and research centers, (2) a residential community with housing and schools, (3) an industrial park for biomedical production, and (4) recreational areas, following principles of healthy living, ecological integrity, and sustainable development. The team's concept plan focuses on connecting these uses with green space and prioritizing pedestrian access. The master plan layouts out the different land uses and includes plans for transportation networks, phasing, and green infrastructure.

4. Project Intro.

5. • The plan will propose optimal spatial arrangements of diverse land uses
including
• (1) a medical campus with five ultramodern academic specialty medical
centers,
• (2) a research center for advanced science in biomedicine,
• (3) a biomedical industrial park for the high-powered biotechnology in
biomedical translation and innovation,
• (4) a residential community with diverse and mixed housing options and a
Metro Center for high-density mixed-use development
• (5) a recreational district with a state-of-the art sport complex supported
by multimodal transportation systems and extensive green infrastructure,
and responding to the local history, culture, and landscape.
Mission Statement

6. • The master plan of the City will be developed under the four main
overarching guiding principles:
• (1) healthy living for all - HUMAN,
• (2) biological diversity and ecological integrity - ANIMAL,
• (3) sustainable and low-impact development - ENVIRONMENT,
• (4) economic and cultural development - ECONOMY
Guiding Principles

7. HUMAN – Healthy Living for All
a) Promote healthy and active living
• An interfaith center to support a wide range of religious spiritual activities
• Easy access to nature and diverse sensory experiences
• Restorative and healing environments
• Pedestrian and bicycle oriented community
• Fresh food from farms and community gardens
• Integrate productive landscape and food system planning
• Nursery to raise/exchange flowers
• Diverse agriculture opportunities (considering soil conditions) o Community gardens o Home
gardens o Green houses o Green roofs
• Agricultural training centers with agricultural experimental fields
• Light industrial parks with processing, packaging and distribution facilities for locally
grown/raised agriculture products and markets open to other farmers (connecting with COOP)

8. • b) Foster a sense of place and community identity
• Art elements reflecting local history and culture
• Local architecture styles
• Preservation of high quality mature vegetation
• Preservation of high quality architectures and infrastructure
• Easy way finding
• Support for existing community values and characteristics
• c) Ensure safety and security
• Fences and gates as needed o Vegetated hedges o External boundaries o Visually transparent
fences
• Physical and visual security/protection Separated circulation systems
• Safe crossings
• Traffic calming devices
HUMAN – Healthy Living for All

9. Site Analysis

10. Background Information
Kenya is a country in East Africa with coastline on the
Indian Ocean. It encompasses savannah, Lakelands, the
dramatic Great Rift Valley, mountain highlands and
abundant wildlife such as lions, elephants and rhinos.
From Nairobi, the capital, safaris visit the Maasai Mara
reserve, known for its annual wildebeest migrations, and
Amboseli National Park, offering views of Tanzania's
5,895m Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Geothermal Development
Plan of drilling an estimated
1,130 wells to provide steam
for the planned 5,000MW to
meet projected capacity by
2030. Suswa Geothermal
Development Project is one
of the series of these wells
that GDC plans to implement.

17. Drought
• The relative humidity
typically ranges from
33% (comfortable) to
96% (very humid) over
the course of the year.
• The air is driest around
January 29.
• It is most humid
around December 14.
Challenges--- Drought

18. Poor Farming Situation
• Dew point is often a
better measure of how
comfortable a person
will find the weather
than relative humidity.
• Lower dew points feel
drier and higher dew
points feel more
humid.
Challenges--- Agriculture

19. Strategies

20. Strategies and Goals

21. Case Study

22. Future Hopley: Hutano, Mvura, Miti
Through territorial and simple place-making moves, the
project establishes a landscape framework for the growth
of Hopley Farms, an informal settlement in Harare. The
provision social hubs that informal dwellers usually don't
build on their own, become the centerpiece infrastructures
that complement the future self-built city. A territorial
growth pattern, rainwater management and an
agroforestry system are linked to create a healthy
community by tackling issues that plague Harare and its
future growth.
The point between agriculture bands and main connections
become social hubs that provide amenities for residents such
as schools and sport fields.

As a medical city, the medical
campus is the most important
part which would attract
people from outside and
promote healthy lives in local
area. So Medical area as well
as residential and agricultural
area will be build at the first
phasing.
When economy inside the place is developed well, the
commercial area, like markets and tourism, will attract
people come in. Also the agriculture system will be built
in this section.
At the last period of development in this site, recreation and advanced energy system will be the fast
developing part. At the same time, the whole city will expand towards north.

People in high density residential area can be involved into a whole
system with agriculture, efficient transportation system and active
living promotion.
People can log on health data base when they connect to WIFI.

In low density residential area, people can get easy access to
recreational parks. Jogging and cycling routes are well organized
with local vegetation around the roads.
