Kaloleni, Nairobi

Kaloleni is a residential neighbourhood in the city of Nairobi. It is approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) southeast of the central business district of Nairobi. It is one of the oldest estates in Nairobi, having been completed in the 1940s. Location Kaloleni is located approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) southeast of Nairobi's central business district. It is straddled by Jogoo Road to the south. It borders other neighbourhoods such as Makongeni and Industrial Area. Overview Following recommendations by Sir Charles Mortimer, who chaired the African Housing Committee (AHC), conception of Kaloleni began as early as 1927. Its initial stages of the estate's design was greatly influenced by Garden City Concept, although the final blueprint was informed by the template created by American urban planner Clarence Perry based on his concept, the Neighbourhood Unit. The estate was built in the 1940s by the Italian prisoners of the war. The bungalows were built of stone, roofed with Mangalore tiles, and floors finished with cement screed. Kaloleni Social Hall was completed with the same design as the bungalows but was bigger. It is at Kaloleni Social Hall that social and political meetings were convened in an effort to push for independence. Kaloleni was completed in the 1948 and gifted to World War II veterans, the King's African Rifles. The neighbourhood has remained relatively unchanged but the houses have become dilapidated and in need of renovation. Kaloleni residents have put up informal extensions, and rented them out for extra income. References

Nanyuki

Nanyuki er en markedsby i Laikipia Amt i Kenya, beliggende nordvest for Mount Kenya langs A2-vejen og ved endestationen af en jernbanelinje til Nairobi. Navnet er afledt af masai-ordet "Enyaanyukie", som betyder "lighed". Den ligger lige nord for ækvator (0° 01' N). Om byen Anyuki havde bybefolkning på 72.813 i 2019. De fleste medlemmer af befolkningen tjener deres penge gennem handel. Butikker i byen forsyner mange gårde, rancher og vildtparker i et stort opland, såvel som byens beboere. Oprindeligt var de fleste butikker ejet af indfødte, som stadig udgør en betydelig del af befolkningen. Klatrere og backpackere besøger Nanyuki på vej til eller fra Mount Kenya langs Sirimon- og Naro Moru-ruterne, og mange andre turister passerer gennem byen. Nanyuki har mange hoteller, hvoraf Mount Kenya Safari Club og Sportsman's Arms Hotel er de mest fremtrædende. Historie Maasai-hyrder fandt rød okker i Nanyuki. Britiske immigranter bosatte sig der i de tidlige dage af kolonitidens Kenya i 1907. Nogle af deres efterkommere bor stadig i eller omkring byen. Major Digby Tatham-Warter, en britisk hær officer berømt for at bære en paraply i kamp, flyttede til Nanyuki efter Anden Verdenskrig og boede på sin gård indtil sin død i 1993. Under Mau Mau-opstanden oprettede Digby en frivillig bereden politistyrke og førte dem mod Mau Mau. Der er kun lidt storindustri i Nanyuki. Mount Kenya Textile (Mountex) Mills gik konkurs i 1978, blev kortvarigt genåbnet under ny ledelse, men lukkede til sidst. Der har været et antal savværker i Nanyuki. Men med det næsten totale forbud mod træfældning på Mount Kenya (som nogle gange håndhæves lemfældigt), er disse enten lukket ned eller lever nu en vanskelig tilværelse. For nylig er store havebrugsvirksomheder kommet til Nanyuki-området, herunder Likii blomsterfarm, Traco farm, Kongoni farm og adskillige andre langs Nanyuki-Timau-vejen. Den genoplivede jernbanetransport mellem Nanyuki og Nairobi har øget handlen i byen. Galleri Referencer
