The Mombasa masterplan expected to be take between 18-36 months to develop comes after the Japanese donors gave positive indications towards the project.
According to Mombasa county government executive secretary for Lands and Physical Planning Francis Thoya, Mombasa city has been without a master plan since 2006, leading to rapid growth of slums and unplanned development. The same has also led to traffic congestion and poor sanitation infrastructure.
The current masterplan for the city is 38 years old having been developed by McLoffin Company of Britain in 1976.The plan was to cater for a population of 300,000 for 30 years but the population has since increased to 1.2 million.
The proposed masterplan is set to last for 50 years. It will provide for mini cities to help decongest the port town. It will also assist in planning the multi-billion Dongu Kundu port expansion and proposed railway.
