Feasibility Study of low and middle income housing for rent in and around Nairobi, Kenya

Urbuntu是一家总部位于英国的公司，致力于投资和开发非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲的低收入社区，帮助他们繁荣发展。Urbuntu与英国咨询公司3B Impact合作，该公司专门支持具有社会影响力的创新商业机会。基于Urbuntu作为国际组织低成本住房顾问的丰富专业知识，凭借3B Impact在将社会影响与商业商机结合起来方面的专业知识，我们的目标是通过可商业投资的开发项目来改造发展中国家的低成本住房。2017年，肯尼亚政府将经济适用房作为其四大发展议程之一，然而，尽管需求巨大，私营部门还没有找到一个成功的商业案例，为中低收入家庭大规模提供负担得起的住房。正是在这种背景下，我们的工作已经确定有必要开展一项以内罗毕住宅租赁市场为重点的可行性研究，以便为发展正规租赁市场建立一个明确的商业案例，为中低收入家庭提供负担得起、安全和位置适当的住房。
