Question 24

Study Figure 3, a photograph showing part of an urban area in Nairobi, Kenya.

A photograph of an urban area in Nairobi, Kenya. In the foreground, there are densely packed, informal shelters built closely together using temporary materials like corrugated metal sheets and wooden planks. There are no clear paved roads, waste management systems, or formal infrastructure between these dwellings. In the immediate background, a newly built, modern elevated concrete dual-carriageway highway with metal railings stands in sharp contrast to the unplanned settlement below.
