Abstract
Facing an inflow of rural migrants of major proportion the city of Nairobi is currently pursuing an ambitious program to develop new housing and to upgrade present housing for low income residence. This article analyzes residential mobility patterns in the low income zones of Nariobi in the context of the historical evolution of housing policy from the colonial period to the present. Urban policy appears both deliberately and inadvertently to have operated as a constraint on the choices of migrants both on their entry into the city and in their subsequent intraurban mobility. It is argued that the new sites-and-services scheme as presently constituted does little to relieve these constraints. (Authors) (Summaries in ENG FRE SPA)
