Kajiado County Spatial Plan 2019-2029

Abstract

County Spatial Planning is a tool put in place to provide a guide for exploitation and use of land with the aim of achieving the delicate balance to meet development/growth demands and sustainably harness the resource for integration. Planning ensures order, environmental protection, safeguards against depletion and rational methods preferred to sustain landed resources and human activities undertaken. County and national space planning, commonly referred to as spatial planning, navigates a process of balancing rational use of space to achieve order, preference and better use. This is expressed in strategies that take the shape of spatial forms (mapping), statistical projection or policy statements. Therefore, highly priced undertakings that sustain and support community practices (human activities) are protected and nurtured through protective/conservation methods. The aggressive and modern enterprises are equally managed through controlled mechanism. Such practices may include enterprises like urbanization and industrialization that enjoy preference over traditional nonmarket- oriented enterprises. Planning becomes a medium of selective justice for use and management of land space.
