Executive summary
The conceptual designing of Nairobi Integrated Urban Development Master Plan would be the
major milestone for the Kenya Country. This is due to the reason that this city is not only
considered to be the capital city of Kenya but is the commercial and industrial hub for the Thika
highway. The finalization of this plan will be the important phase of the development of this
highway and it will provide a comprehensive and an integrated framework of urban development
in the country. In this report the conceptual design that has to be implemented for reducing the
unnecessary traffic in Kenya is going to be discussed. It put forth the preliminary design of the
plan along with the detailed information of the design and its development further. It even gives
the idea of the system test, evaluation, and validation of the design that is implemented along
with optimization. This design has to be implemented on the Thika highway and also its footpath
so that it can be expanded further to avid messy roads. The surveillance technology has been
used which will be monitoring all the incidences and the acts that are taking place alongside the
roadway which is the key importance of this technology in the urban and rural areas of Nairobi.

Introduction
The presence of road network that is good and well-functioning is very critical for the growth of
an economy, reduction of poverty, and creation of employment and wealth. Hence the Ministry
of roads will play a significant role in achieving the goals of Kenya vision 2030 with the
establishment of basic facilities of infrastructure to the public by developing, rehabilitating,
maintaining, and also managing the road networks in the Thika highway of Nairobi city. The
highest priority has been given to the infrastructure for making sure that the main projects of the
road are implemented under the economic pillar.
As per Ahlberg, Nilson & Walsh, there is a need for the implementation of the conceptual design
phase of system engineering for improving the roads to a motorable condition (Ahlberg, Nilson
& Walsh, 2016). This is due to the reason that most of the road transportation carries the cargoes
and passenger in the country which is creating a lot of traffic issues. In socio-economic
development of the country, the importance of roads is high due to which in the recent past the
government has increased the allocation of budget steadily for this conceptual designing.
However, in Kenya, the road projects are facing a number of challenges in which delay in
completion of roads, overruns of cost, demolition of the abortive, business or residential areas
are included as shown in Figure 1.
