KDI

KDI is a non-profit design and community development organization founded in Nairobi in 2006 with offices in Kenya, Sweden, and the US. We partner with under-resourced communities to advance equity and activate the unrealized potential in neighborhoods and cities through advocacy, research, planning, and built works. We have been working together with citizens on urban nature, Nature-based Solutions, and Green Infrastructure over the last 15 years through our award-winning Kibera Public Space Project and related programs, and in the last four years have launched a significant program on "Realising urban Nature-based Solutions" (R u NBS?) in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam. We are a team of landscape architects, urban planners, civil engineers, architects, community organizers, and researchers focused on alleviating economic, environmental, and social challenges to enable communities to have a healthy, prosperous, and happy life.
