5 Tampines Meridian Junior College 2023 JC1 Year-End Exam H1 Geography Resource 3 for Question 1 Article on creating public spaces for the low-income neighbourhoods in Nairobi Safe and Beautiful Public Spaces? Necessity Not Luxury! “Public Spaces are not a nice thing to have, but a basic need for cities”. This statement by the World Bank could not be more significant yet in practice it is far from being implemented. Cities need to find ways to co-create spaces that are accessible for everyone. Nairobi is a city that has a rapidly growing population. Due to poor waste management, copious amounts of garbage were discarded in public spaces, causing a decline in green safe public spaces. Residents of affluent neighbourhoods pay generously for waste to be collected. whereas residents living in low -income areas dump their garbage in public spaces, which poses a threat to their public health. The latter have little access to green public spaces and must travel relatively far to reach them, a spatial injustice. Public Space Network (PSN) thus acted by encouraging citizens to design and facilitate the adoption of public open spaces in the city so that residents can take responsibility for managing them through a competition called the “Changing Faces Competition” (CFC). Such community- based transformation places its confidence, especially in the local youths, and mobilises them to improve their physical environment, consequently creating employment for them as well as developing their leadership skills. A Public-Private-People partnership (4P) approach was adopted where urban experts were engaged to assist and mentor the citizens , and public authorities were also involved to ensure compliance with legal frameworks. Private sector actors are also encouraged to sponsor the initiative. Over 120 abused or neglected spaces (formerly dump sites ) are now transformed into playgrounds, community gardens, recreational parks or revenue -generating car park s. The revitalisation of these public spaces has accrued many benefits for society. The development of new child -friendly spaces has provided a safe space for children to play. Crime in the respective low - and middle -income areas has reduced tremendously as p reviously unemployed youth engaged in crime found employment in the process. Transforming spaces in their neighbourhoods has also given the low income group an opportunity to earn a living by either renting the spaces for events or practising urban gardening.
