As President Ruto breaks ground of Nairobi Railway City today, I think the project deserves its own thread.
To be constructed on 425 acres of land owned by Kenya Railways, smack right in the middle of Nairobi CBD, Railway city will be built in 3 phases.

Phase 1 involves the new iconic railway station, 10,000 housing units, commercial spaces, and lots of water features and green spaces.

If there's one project that will quite literally transform the face of East Africa's most influential city, it is not the expressway, but this one.

Phase 1 should be complete in 2-3 years.

Europeanization is a stupid word to use. No wonder it's coming from people boasting English language.

Yet you are using the same English language to lecture other people who speak in English.

De aim is for your fellow Kenyans and other stupid africans that think like that to understand and comprehend.
Eti uropeanization of Nairobi. Bora tunaotumia asilimia 1 pasipo na hizo fikra.

Ukija Nairobi uone the London of East Africa, you'll have a heart attack no doubt.

Punguza blood pressure. You've not seen anything yet.
See how Tatu City, a 100% private development, is coming up.

 
Wakenya wanazidi kutupiga KO kila siku.Tulianza kuwakaribia kipindi cha magufuli lakini kwa sasa huyu bibi hangaya anazidi kuturudisha nyuma.Tungekuwa tunabadilishana marais tungemchukua ruto aje Tanzania na chief hangaya aende Kenya akawakere huko kama tunavyokereka Tanzania

Don't worry. We'll be a laughing stock with a new shiny railway station and a beautiful modern city.

Seriously you guys have misplaced priorities for sure. A new railway station to where how big is Naipori to warrant a new railway station?

You should have courted investors to invest in manufacturing industries and commercially irrigated agriculture to curb unemployment and hunger first.

Kweli we will have a heart attack sio kwa slums hizo, uchafu na plummeting buildings all over the place.

The rate at which the buildings in Nairobi collapse you may be mistaken that you are on the red planet Mars collapsed building debris everywhere [emoji3]

Eti misplaced priorities na hata hauna uelewa of what is happening, this must be jealousy, so Nairobi iendelee kusombwa na jam, time wasting because of your clueless reasoning? hizo zote umetaja we are working on them, our development is 'wholistic', industrialization tumewazidi na bado we are growing in it.., inafaa ujiulize mbona, na hiyo raslimali yote mlio nayo Tanzania, wenzako wanaikimbia nchi kukuja Kenya kuomba omba, pia mnatajwa ndani ya nchi tano Africa zenye mafukara wengi sana wakutupwa.., in EAC u lead kwa idadi ya mafukara.., tatizo ni nini? focus on your country first before u discuss Kenya., ama pata funzo.

The railway is 100% needed. It will be the central station where all lines, including SGR from Mombasa will eventually terminate.
The station will also be the heart of the newest, greenest and most modern CBD in the region.

How big is Nairobi?
The city had over 14,000kms of roads in 2009. Now its likely over 20,000km, and with every new estate being built, more is roads are being built.
And there are more estates coming up than anyone can count.
Only about 50% of those roads are tarmacked.

A proper railway metro system connecting all the suburbs will be a game changer.

In short, this project will do for Nairobi more than Grand Central did for New York.

Tell me you've never been to Nairobi without saying it.
I can tell you the slums you keep mentioning here, the ones you see hyped up my the media, 90% of Kenyans have neither been to any of them nor seen them in-person.
They occupy less than 1% of the land area.

Kibera the biggest, which I'm sure you're about to post photos of, is only 2.5 km square in size.
The entire Nairobi is close to 700 km square.

Kibera therefore occupies 0.3% of Nairobi.
Most of Nairobi is tranquil, no wonder foreigners working in Africa rank Nairobi as the best city on the continent.

The only thing Tanzania offers visitors is wildlife and safaris. After they are bored of the game drives, they fly to Nairobi to enjoy life. 🤣 🤣
