About Naipolitans
Naipolitans are urban professionals, residents and enthusiasts, trying to figure out how, when, where, and what we can do to make Nairobi and Kenya a better place to live. We have experiences from within and outside Kenya that show that it is possible to have livable urban spaces. We want to bring those experiences to bear on Nairobi but not sure how. Or we are sure how but need a critical mass of people with whom to think things through. The Naipolitans platform provides that neutral space necessary to host conversations about urban-shaping initiatives taking place across our city.
