Re-ordering the Urban Archipelago: Kenya Vision 2030, Street Trade and the Battle for Nairobi City Centre Denis Linehan Geography Dept., University College Cork, Ireland. [[email protected]] Abstract

Resumo

The urban morphology and social and economic topography of Nairobi is sharply distinguished, heavily fortified and distinctively regulated. This form of urban territorial organization is an outcome of the legacies of colonialism and deeply inequitable local practices which continue to enforce Nairobi’s relationship to the foreign investor and the tourist rather than support the rights of the urban inhabitant. The accelerating impact of neo-liberal economic planning continues to worsen these urban inequalities. In this context, this paper explores the influence of Kenya Vision 2030 on the restructuring of Nairobi and assesses its implication for street vendors, who have been increasingly displaced from trading in the City Centre. Their future and the attempts to re-order Nairobi city centre has emerged as a key site were debates over the global and local versions of the city and the contest between different developmental futures are acted out.

A morfologia urbana e topografia social e económica de Nairobi é marcadamente singular, severamente fortificada e distintamente regulada. Esta forma de organização urbana territorial é um resultado dos legados coloniais e de práticas locais profundamente desiguais que continuam a fortalecer as relações de Nairobi com o investidor estrangeiro e com o turista, em vez de apoiar os direitos do habitante urbano. O impacto acelerado do planeamento económico neo-liberal continua a deteriorar estas desigualdades urbanas. Neste contexto, este artigo explora a influência do Kenya Vision 2030 na reestruturação de Nairobi e avalia as suas implicações para os vendedores ambulantes, que têm sido crescentemente deslocados do centro da cidade. O seu futuro e as tentativas de reordenar o centro da cidade de Nairobi surgem como lugar crítico onde se travam debates sobre as versões globais e locais da cidade e entre futuros diferentes de desenvolvimento.
