Integrated Urban Structure Development Plan (IUSDP)
The Integrated Urban Structure Development Plan (IUSDP) is a strategic framework that guides the spatial growth and sustainable development of urban areas within Nakuru County. It ensures that land use, infrastructure, housing, transport, and public services are coordinated to support livable, inclusive, and economically vibrant towns and cities.
Through the Integrated Urban Structure Development Plan (IUSDP), Nakuru and Naivasha Town are getting a more detailed plan to guide developments in the areas. The (IUSDP) looks at the current space uses and proposes more efficient, effective and sustainable long term uses. Areas such as Barnabas and other centres in the county through the plan mentioned earlier will be made satellite centres to ease pressure of facilities in the Nakuru CBD. Planning of trading centres from the Sub-Counties, Wards and even at the village level is being undertaken. Among the centres that will benefit from this initiative include: Lengenet in Rongai sub-county, Longonot in Naivasha, Manyani in Nakuru East and Haji Farm in Subukia.
🏙️ Why the IUSDP is Important?
- 🗺️ Promotes Planned Urban Growth – Prevents haphazard developments and land conflicts.
- 🚍 Integrates Transport and Infrastructure – Coordinates mobility, utilities, and services efficiently.
- 🏘️ Enhances Livability – Guides access to green spaces, social amenities, and housing.
- 🔧 Supports Infrastructure Investment – Informs strategic public works and service rollout.
- 🌍 Protects the Environment – Encourages green zoning and climate-resilient urban spaces.
- 📊 Informs Policy and Decision Making – Uses data to support evidence-based planning.
