Title: The Study for the Establishment of the Spatial Data Framework for the City of Nairobi
Period: December 2002 – March 2005
Funded by: JICA

The City of Nairobi has experienced a rapid increase in population with 
an influx of immigrants from rural areas, and the city infrastructure 
(water supply, sewerage, land management, waste disposal, health and 
sanitation, etc.) is not sufficient to meet the growing demands. 
However, the city's 1:2,500-scale maps, the most basic geographic 
information, were produced 30 years ago and do not cover the entire 
city. As they have not been updated or expanded, they do not represent 
current conditions and cannot be used to formulate urban development 
plans. In the study, we developed a geographic information system to 
manage the city's infrastructure. Specific activities included: i) 
aerial photography (scale: 1:5,000; color) covering an area of 702 km2, ii) ground control point survey (22 points), iii) ordinary leveling 
(350km), iv) aerial triangulation (249 models), v) field identification 
(585 km2), vi) production of 1:2,500 topographic maps (170 km2), vii) production of 1:5,000 topographic maps (415 km2), viii) consultation on GIS related tasks and design of GIS (15 km2), and ix) GIS database construction.

Is the current system broken? I've always believed the only problem we have is absent signage but technically there's an existing system.
