| dc.description.abstract | Controlling access and gatting is perhaps the only way most residents of Nairobi,
Kenya, continue to fight crime in their neighbourhoods. This is mainly facilitated
through a residents or a neighbourhood association who decide to control access to
their neighbourhood by having one or two security points. Based on an empirical study
of three regions in Nairobi, the aim of this paper is to (1) provide an overview of
neighbourhood associations in Nairobi and their organizational structures; (2) explain
the reasons behind their formation as well as that of privatizing public space; (3)
examine the security measures they employ; and (4) analyze the types of control these
neighbourhoods have, their role in promoting territorialism, segregation, inclusion and
exclusion, and their impact on mobility and planning of the city. | en |
