dc.description.abstract | This study examines the economic performance of the planned
and unplanned small scale economic activities in low income
neighbourhoods of the city of Nairobi. Most studies on the
subject have tended to raise the need for planning of the
economic activities. It is assumed that planning for such
activities will enhance their performance.
The study adopted three measures of performance; income,
output and employment levels. In examining the observation, a
comparison case of two areas is done; planned and unplanned small
scale manufacturing and repair activities sites both within low
income neighbourhoods in Nairobi.
The major findings of the study show that planned activities
perform better than the unplanned. However, economic performance
is influenced by factors such as initial investments,
availability of working space,
and marketing of the products.
access to infrastructural services
Planned activities were
significantly provided with the above parameters than the
unplanned ones. The findings of this study recommends the
integration of the above factors in the planning for the location
of the manufacturing and repair activities. | en |
