dc.description.abstract | This study sought to establish the linkage between the completion of the Chinese built transport
infrastructure and the demographic changes of the community living within the covered areas of
the Nairobi Metropolitan region. The study adopted the modernization theory, and used
longitudinal research design to establish the linkage between the completion of the transport
infrastructure (Nairobi Southern Bypass) and the changes in the age structure as well as the
economic status of the communities living along the covered areas. It also used both primary and
secondary data. The research established that a possible linkage existed between the completion
of the Nairobi Southern Bypass and the demographic changes. Specifically, the study found a
possible linkage between the completion of the Nairobi Southern Bypass and the age structure as
well as the economic status of the local community. The study concludes that there is linkage
that exists between the Chinese built transport infrastructure and the demographic variables such
as the changing age structure and economic status of a community. The study therefore,
recommends that policymakers should consider demographic variables such as age structure and
economic status while making decisions on the best transport infrastructure investment for
achieving economic growth. | en_US |
