Based on site analysis, detail study, and local engagements with key stakeholders’, various opportunities were identified for development on this site. The key uses proposed are County/ Municipality offices, mid-density residential (affordable housing and civil servants’ accommodation), low-density residential (governor’s residence and senior government officers residential), recreational spaces, such as neighbourhood parks, city parks and a civic plaza. Internal roads, SuDS and required infrastructure are also included within the proposal.

The following figures illustrate the different components defining the proposed masterplan for Bungoma Airstrip.

Character areas

The masterplan is defined by four-character areas, Figure 4-20, which are related to the proposed land uses and located based on the site analysis and future functioning of the site. The proposal responds to a potential need for phasing in a way that each major component could work in independently.

1. Residential – medium density affordable houses with distributed neighbourhood parks which serve the existing and future community located to the west completing the existing urban grain; 2. Government residences – government officials residences including the governor’s residence, the senior officer’s residential and civil servants’ accommodation; 3. Government complex – offices and shared facilities; 4. The City Park – recreational and events; large recreational space for the wider community. The Greenway and the Civic Plaza

The areas listed above are linked by a proposed meandering pedestrian link, the Greenway, which connects the wetlands around the River Sio and the existing neighbourhoods to the west with the civic components to the east. The Greenway will run through the proposed neighbourhoods towards the Civic Plaza which is proposed at the heart of the Government complex and will finish at the recreational city park.
