It is a good indicator of business health, can be a valuable source of information and is viewed by many as a form of entertainment in itself. Outdoor advertising is a key element of the industry and contributes to the creation of a vibrant and competitive economy. All advertisements affect the appearance of the building or place where they are displayed. Given the potential impact of outdoor advertising on amenity, both positive and negative, there is a need to balance the requirements of the industry with the protection and, where possible, enhancement of the character and appearance of our city and its environs. There is a corresponding need to ensure that advertisements will not prejudice public safety. The County on its part wishes to ensure that care is taken with the display of outdoor advertisements so that they do not prejudice amenity or public safety, having regard to the specific circumstances of each proposal. Overall, the County intends to encourage the provision of well-designed advertising which respects the building or location where it is displayed and which contribute to a quality environment. There is a particular need to protect the unique qualities and amenity of the countryside and important townscape features, such as listed buildings and their settings, conservation areas and areas of townscape character, among others.

In developing countries, urbanization has had the negative consequence of inequitable economic growth, food insecurity and increased urban poverty. Kenya like many other African countries continues to experience increased rural-urban migration as people seek better livelihood sources in urban areas. According to Kenya Vision 2030, it is estimated that by the year 2030, 63% Kenyan population will be domiciled in urban areas. This migration will continue to present challenges in infrastructure development, services provision and food requirements to meet the needs of increasing urban population. The effect of urbanization has led to conversion of land hitherto used for farming to other land uses. The overall objective of Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (UPALF) Policy is to promote and regulate sustainable UPALF sector development to improve incomes, food security, create employment and reduce poverty to enhance living standards; with focus on land use, public health and environment. This will require addressing the following areas: Coordination and reviewing of policy and legislation affecting UPALF with the aim of developing concerted sector improvement; Integration of UPALF agenda in the planning and development of Nairobi City County. Strengthen Nairobi county government legislation to support UPALF development. Formulating, developing and promoting appropriate technologies for sustainable UPALF development ;and Promoting conservation of the environment by management of waste and other pollutants from the UPALF sector.
