This project used an impact-focused research approach to develop a framework to assist in the development of planning and design, implementation and policy making for infrastructure projects that reduce inequality and promote prosperity. The result of the project is the , a framework that puts together practical guidance for actors working in infrastructure and slum upgrading in Kenya, including government, built environment professionals, academics and students. The project was led by Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI) with the support of the Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK) and the input of Arup East Africa and other relevant field advisors from academia and industry. The UCL Engineering for International Development Centre (EfID) contributed to the development of the framework by assessing the connection between integrated infrastructure and the attainment of global and continental development goals. This included conducting an exploration of the linkages between the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Agenda 2063 to inform project design and monitoring by considering areas of overlap between agendas.
