- Опубликовано: 27 мар 2022
- Kilimani suburb has undergone an extreme transformation. Tall buildings, trees disappearing, increased population, apartments coming up everywhere, exclusivity gone.
It's the story of Kilimani.

Love your job. Kindly next do for kileleshwa.
Kenya is rapidly going to become a superpower. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole world in the future starts speaking Swahili ❤
Kilimani is so Beautiful 😍This Piece was too Short..mbaka nimeona mara mbili. Enock mbona watutesa hivi😭🥲
Yeah, it had changed a lot over the past 3 decades. I lived there on Lenana Rd in the 1990s. !!!
You do such a good job brother Enock! I'm yet to see someone who does it like you do back there! You really make me miss home with these documentaries!
We need to legislate minimum number of canopy trees and separatey number of flowering shrubs per development. That way trees are built into the development plans. Also need small lawns or flowerbeds linked to the ground soil designed to provide green space to absorb rain water and minimise flooding.
This is a good idea.
Bro I own couples of drones and I can say the level of control u have on your drones is impeccable
Thank you so much Daniel. I really appreciate
Good job with the updates Enock , drone shots on point
If Kenya develops other cities, it would reduce congestion in Nairobi.
True govt. Is somehow being biased
Kenyan government should move the capital City from Nairobi to somewhere like Isiolo. Leave Nairobi as the financial capital instead.
@@Leonmuigz and who will want to live in that heat and not to mention water challenges.
@@aliciafields-worldtravelle8248 As a Capital City the government will definitely come up with water solutions as well as tree planting to cool down the temperatures. There's lots of Cities in very hot and arid areas so that's not an issue.
@Ledama Looking at the map of Kenya, majority of the population is south of the equator. We should move some people up North.
My goodness Kilimani is a city within a city. Wow Wow
I love kilimani, i stayed there for a while at my bros.
Wow..had no idea that this happened. Good work.
I used to visit my late uncle when he lived there,was a nice quiet place,changed alot in the recent years
in the building watching from barbados 😎😎😎
Oh so nostalgic... I schooled at Milimani primary school in the heart of Kilimani, for sure it was a sea of massionettes and well manicured lawns hosting bungalows in leafy ambient surrounding, I actually watched Yaya center being built.. its great to see the beautiful apartments from the impossing concrete jungle!
Nice content 🎉
awesome info!
Beautiful city Nairobi
I have watched Kilimani grow from an affluent neighborhood around 2003 to an estate riddled with flats in 2022. They need to check the cropping up of vibandas in every corner of Kilimani.
It was inevitable. Population is Nairobi has almost tripled in the last 20 years
Nairobi has changed a lot in the last 10 years.
Congratulations Enoch!we couldn't find this anywhere else
Love it
I hope the maisonettes (as you define them) survive. They add character, history and greenery to the neighborhood. Fascinating video, Kenyan Historia. In the West the financial sector (particularly private equity and large funds) has branched into the real-estate market, swallowing green spaces, hand-shaking spaces between tall towers, and unaffordable housing (both rental and mortgage). Their loyalties are to out-of-sight investors, not renters or mortgagees. Kenyan development is younger. It could be wise and avoid those very serious pitfalls. But my guess is, it won't.
Great Advice sister. I hope the Stake holders concerned have read your Comment. You've made a very valid Point.
@ Kenyan Historian..Your shows are informative and educative..Can you please do a documentary on how Kenya became an economic powerhouse in the East and Central Africa will really Appreciate...Thanks
Kilimani hakuna safari asubuhi na alasiri, trafiki kila mahali, matatu kila mahali, busy busy!
Lakini kiujumla Kilimani ni pazuri sana na maendeleo ya eneo hilo ni mambo!
Kilimani estate qualifies to be a city on its own. Is following big brothers upper Hill and westlands estates which have already surpassed Nairobi's CBD
I lived here in the late 80s and 90s this was the place to live..exclusive homes with mbwa kali insignia .... yaya center was the place to be but it has been overtaken by other malls in the city
Your work is well researched and informative. If only you were more consistent. Good job though.
Once upon a time yaya was the only tower we all knew in that area.
Ikr 😂
Good video but couldn't get enough of u saying masionates 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
If only they can construct pinnacle towers in upper hill
Kilimani and westlands are cities within a city
Very True. Is Kilimani part of Upper hill au Iko Kivyake.?
...and Eastleigh too though it's dirty
@@kingkevin442 yeah
@@kingkevin442 Kilimani is not part of Upper Hill.
@@ichooseviolence2532 the locals need to be serious with pressing the government to help them set up a garbage collection facility
The once leafy suburb has now become a concrete jungle
Good work,and why don't you take us to kenol marua dual carriage
Most of this has happened in the last 10 years. I used to commute on this area a lot back then and it was totally different. Further back the Yaya towers were the only real building outside the CBD. Even upper hill didn't have high rises. However all these flats are being built in the wrong side of town. Contrast this with the video of Jericho. The bulk of construction should be in such areas where it most needed but developers want the big money in posh areas
Upperhill next
These roads are tiny to support the increasing population
Tunnelling?
True, and Kilimani being quite an affluent area, 80% of the people who shall live in those flats shall each own a car, and very often use uber and other taxi services...the traffic situation there will be hell in the next few years after the apartments are fully occupied unless they adopt a proper transport plan that incorporates mass transit systems
HELLO KINDLY DO DOCUMENTARY ON THE EFFECT OF DEVOLUTION
the trade and development bank bulding is past 25 floors
Visit 88 Nairobi Kindly
Showcase Westlands
It was tough hearing Nancy Githaiga.
Yeah. I have also noted. Edited at night. Pole
@@KenyanHistorian All good brother. Blessed day ahead.
@@chrismugambi2121 You too bro
Now people have started invading our kiambu road, I hate the shitty car yards etc
Key word, "mansionettes"
but the problem is kilimani will stop being a residential place in some years to come and will be like the upper part of cbd, in time changing to be like cbd, from hawkers to congestion and the leafy surbab kilimani will be a past story!!
That's not necessarily a bad thing, besides there are lots of residential places coming up outside Nairobi, Tatu city included.
Forigive my ignorance, but let me asky why the govt, built the expressway to be used by few people instead of a mass transit system consisting of rails, BRT systems, and sub way
Stop reading your news from social media when real, actual, extensive journalistic works have been done on the same issues....halafu unaiita eti ignorance...
The Kenyan Historian has done more than two documentaries on the project. And factual information provided by the Ministry is readily available on the Ministry's website.
😂 All those things are happening, some near completion e.g BRT phase one will soon be operational, there is the Nairobi Commuter rail that is working with more stations being added. Why are people so myopic and fault finders? Update yourself!!
@@AfrikanTribesman An unnecessarily rude answer to a very legit question. Nowhere on the ministry's website does it indicate plans for a subway. The rail infra being refurbished only covers the city's outer limits, and it is needed most in the inner city. Any plans to build light rail in Kilimani (where this video was shot) for example? Or have large buses interconnect the area?
A properly functioning modern city of 5 million people can't really operate with any sense of order without first rate mass transit. The government right now should be spending 80% of the transport budget on mass transit infra, not on building expressways and viaducts (car dependent infra)
🙄 The govt didn't build the expressway, it's a private company doing it! Kwani mtaambiwa mara ngapi?!
@@brayo144 You're trying too hard to ignore the message nani.
Sawa then, the government should invite private companies to build mass transit infra, instead of roads on top of roads on top of roads. Hapo sawa?
Building more roads, whether its being done by gava or my grandmother, doesn't solve the city's transport problems.
