Many public open spaces, including critical wetlands and riparian reserves, have been alienated in Nairobi County. Few studies have investigated the degree and root causes of their loss or suggested urban planning and governance models for protection, sustainable provision, delivery and management. These areas are explored in the current thesis attempting to establish a sustainable delivery model centred on collaborative governance and integrative urban planning reinforced by a theoretical framework of one overarching and four complementary theories.
