Abstract/ Overview
The Smart and Sustainable Cities Index (SSCI) in Kenya is a comprehensive framework to measure the status of smartness and sustainability across the Kenyan cities. The pursuit of smart and sustainable urban development has become an imperative for cities globally. The concept of smart and sustainable cities underscores the need to leverage on technology for innovative urban environments that enhance the quality of life for residents. The overarching goal of smart and sustainable cities is to strike a harmonious and efficient balance between economic development, social wellbeing, and ecological preservation. In this policy brief, we present the score card of Nakuru City, a significant urban centre in Kenya. This policy brief explores the specific indicators and performance measures relevant to Nakuru City, allowing stakeholders to pinpoint areas for improvement, prioritize policy actions, and collectively work towards a smarter and more sustainable urban future.
