The context being used to imply kids whose parents managed to acquire assets long before others did. Till date, land remains among the best inheritance to bequeath the next generation. 

• Lessons from the Past

Before the turn of the millennium, families in Nairobi grew up in houses that included a lawn or a common playing field for the children.  For some, it was even unimaginable to think of living 20-plus kms away from Nairobi’s CBD let alone an apartment. For example, the area beyond South C consisted of wide-open spaces. Runda now a high-end residential area, was merely a coffee plantation. And so, remains the case with many other locations. However, today it’s not the case anymore – the city now consists of high-rise buildings built on any available space. In some cases, kids have been forced to compete for playing space with cars within parking areas. Traffic on the roads has exponentially increased and so has the pressure on public infrastructure. Such trends have seen the widening of urban boundaries. Counties such as Kajiado, Kiambu and Machakos counties serve as good examples. Given Kenya’s burgeoning population, it’s a matter of time before reality or Government’s policies skew towards creating new cities that match population to resources. Government owning 5000 acres just 60kms away from Nairobi makes Konza a very strategic investment.
