Garimeme: The Future of Urban Mass Transit in Africa – by Liz Ramey
Garimeme is a rapid light rail system that provides affordable, safe mass transit for the residents of Nairobi and surrounding areas. In its inaugural year, it has helped to decongest the city center, reduce commuting times and costs, and reduce air pollution and motor vehicle accidents. This talk will explain the Garimeme rail system, as well as explore the human geography of East Africa’s most important city.
Liz Ramey is completing a Master in Public Affairs at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School. She is currently in Liberia working for the Civil Service Agency of the Government of Liberia for three months. Since 2007, she has done extensive work in and research on the slums of Nairobi, particularly in the fields of education and informal housing markets.
