Abstract

This study constitutes a study of the circulation space through the assessment of the statutory requirement, standards and guideline that are put into consideration during the design of the circulation space of residential developments. The study will draw a parallel with the design criteria that are used in other more developed countries. Against this background the study will then evaluate the existing state of the circulation spaces in residential developments in Nairobi with the purpose of ascertaining whether these standards have been adhered to, if the standards that have been adhered to, in existing residential developments are sufficient? Why the standards have not been adhered to, in existing residential developments? The resultant effect of adherence or lack of adherence to the set standards. The study will incorporate data obtained from field observation, dispensing of questionnaire and measurement to draw conclusions and possible recommendations. The residents’ satisfaction and observed statistics will form the yardstick of gauging the suitability of the existing standard.
