Workshop in Partnership with Digireg Kenya and Digireg Netherlands / Knowledge Exchange in Action: Bridging Data Expertise Across Continents
In collaboration with Digireg Netherlands, we developed a Detailed Zoning Plan concept focused on creating accessible, digitized zoning frameworks. By incorporating best practices from Dutch land-use planning, this approach integrates key zoning elements and mapping standards to equip local authorities with tools for transparent and informed decision-making.
Detailed zoning planning is essential for creating well-structured urban and rural landscapes. It ensures that land is used efficiently and sustainably, promotes organized development, and supports community needs while safeguarding the environment. This approach provides clarity on land use, and guides infrastructure development, contributing to improved quality of life for residents.
Inclusivity and sustainability are at the core of this zoning concept. Community input is gathered through sessions where local people can share their needs and ideas, making the planning process responsive to local needs. The zoning guidelines emphasize eco-friendly infrastructure, climate resilience, and the preservation of green spaces. The digital zoning platform also makes zoning information easy for everyone to access, promoting public involvement and setting a foundation for sustainable growth in both urban and rural areas of Kenya.
