About Us
Welcome to the Public Space Network
A dedicated organization with an unwavering commitment to nurturing a rejuvenated Nairobi. Our mission is rooted in fostering a city that embodies cleanliness, verdant beauty, enhanced security, and, above all, inclusivity. This vision comes to life through our transformative efforts focused on revitalizing Nairobi's public spaces.
At the core of our mission is the belief that vibrant public spaces are not just a reflection of a city's character, but also play a pivotal role in fostering community cohesion, cultural expression, and economic vitality. By harnessing the power of collaboration and innovative urban planning, we aim to breathe new life into every corner of Nairobi, ensuring that each public space becomes a testimony to our collective dedication to a better urban life.
Recognized and registered under Kenya's Societies Act, we operate under the legal name Society for Promotion of Clean, Green, and Safe Cities. Our multifaceted approach encompasses advocacy, community engagement, sustainable design, and the implementation of projects that transcend mere functionality, transforming public spaces into thriving centers of inspiration, interaction and empowerment.
Join us in our journey as we work tirelessly to shape a Nairobi that not only embraces its past but also envisions a harmonious, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.
