Most Developed Towns in Kenya
1. Nairobi
As the capital city of Kenya, Nairobi has grown since independence and currently, it is among Africa’s most preferred business hubs. The development in Nairobi has come with better facilities, ease to do businesses and the vast market that comes with the big population. The national government together with county government are planning to upgrade facilities like roads, housing, sewerage systems etc.
2. Mombasa
Over the years Mombasa has been one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the country. The town is also among the oldest in the country. Currently, Mombasa has grown in broad terms like more industries, hotels, roads and the current seating governor, Ali Joho is planning to expand the town further.
3. Nakuru Town
Nakuru town was previously the major trading centre fo the whole of Rift valley, but as per the new constitution is the trading centre for Nakuru county. The history of Nakuru town dates backs in 1900 when it used to be a camp for people who were building the railways line. It is the fourth largest town in the country with major revenues coming from tourism as some of the lakes are located its environs
4. Kisumu Town
Another town that is most developed in Kenya is Kisumu town. As the third-largest town, it plays a major role in trading activities in the lake region. Currently, it is the headquarter Nyanza county.
5. Thika Town
Thika town is known as the industrial town of Kenya. The number of the industries in Thika is growing each day; some of the big industries you will find in this town include Bidco Industries ltd, Kenblest Group, Capwell industries, Kenya Vehicle Manufacturers, etc.
6. Eldoret Town
Eldoret town is an agricultural-based town that is located in Uasin Gishu and it is the fifth-largest town in Kenya. It is the home town for many Athletes in Kenya. Unlike many towns which grew as a result of colonialism, Eldoret was a town basically started by farmers.
Towns in Kenya emerged as a result of different reasons including colonial centre, trading centre, industrial centre or even agricultural centres. Most developed towns in Kenya are the development hubs in which the country’s future growth may base on. The Kenyan government should look into more ways to ensure that even as this development continues, it is managed to ensure that they do not end up with bad plans. In current cities like Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu the rate of growth in the settlement did not grow at the same rate with facilities hence leading to problems such as overpopulation, poor housing and slum development, flooding, increased crime etc.

Now when I come to visit next year I will try to visit all those towns and cities. You should start a Travel agency to show Kenya to visitors. I will be the first to book you. LOL.

Kisii is a special case, It is mainly financed by remittances from people in diaspora and around 2004 it become the hub for free primary education funds for a large area from Kericho, Narok, Bomet, Migori and Homabay. Its main shortcoming is lack of space

I agree with most of your assessment especially Nyeri. It has stagnated for sometime. It’s true Naivasha and a few others need some facelift. I have followed most of your content and I can image it must have been challenging to rank these cities considering some cities like Kakamega and Kericho were arguably impressive. What really stood out for me is the need continue planning our cities due to rapid urbanization and I hope your work will create the necessary awareness for this to happen. What you have revealed here is a pretty good appetite for growth which can even be greater with continued good governance. It is now up to the local governments to creat robust systems like Public Works that can be responsible for creating clean cities. Kenya is destined to be a SubSaharan giant, we need to continue picking good leaders! God bless 🇰🇪.

Ranking cities and towns is quite tricky because people look for different things but you did a nice job. Naivasha can grow faster than other towns because of its strategic location. Thika is also very advanced especially because of industries and real estate. I'm thinking of settling in Nakuru because it's affordable, not as chaotic as Nairobi, and it has everything I need.

Plus these videos take time and are expensive to make. We should politely request a review and encourage instead of bashing. Also like and subscribe and share and let adverts run

Something you should understand, the city is not measured with number of buildings it has alone brother. There are factors such as good road network, area per square kilometres , airport and other different social amenities. Kakamega has the best road network in Kenya as compared to Kisii and embu. Kakamega has the third largest stadium in Kenya after kasarani and nyayo stadium. Kakamega has the biggest population after Nairobi. The room for expansion for kakamega is five times bigger than Kisii. Your analysis is not right brother but still a good job.

I have personally lived in Kakamega I can say is that the town has not yet developed to it's capacity. It is well planned and well spaced out, with good roads but lags behind in terms of commercial structures. It seems to still have too much space to be filled. Hopefully it seems to be developing at a faster rate than some of the towns in the video. Moreover, for Kakamega to beat Kisii and Nyeri for example, the government needs to lease more land to private investors, because the majority of the town is filled with old government offices which consume a lot of space.

To minimize the debate, you could probably do top towns for each region.

I have lived and worked in Nakuru town it lags behind Eldoret and Kisii in regards to growth due to the aging population and more opportunities created by devolution in other towns in the county like Molo Gilgil and Naivasha and also proximity to Nairobi leaves it at a disadvantage. Contrary to common belief Nakuru grew as an administrative hub rather than an agricultural center therefore after devolution it lost out to other counties which have more agricultural investment like Kericho, Narok,Trans Nzoia, Uasingishu Nandi and Elgeyo Marakwet

Nakuru's major problem is the inability to construct storey houses with more than 5 floors due to the volcanic soil. It still beats Eldoret

Kakamega believe it or not only ranks high due to high population but in size of built up area it is smaller than even the likes of thika embu or nyeri. I live in kk but I have travelled to the other towns and largely agree with the list. Kisii btw if you visit you get the sense it will even overtake Eldoret in terms of built up area
