We are the Nairobi chapter of the Conscious Cities Movement. As a community of the Centre for Conscious Design (CCD), we are focused on human-centred, socially-conscious and science-informed approaches to design of Nairobi, the ‘Green City in the Sun’. The CCD is an international grassroots think tank focused on using conscious design to alleviate complex social and urban issues.

The “conscious design” concept emerged out of the Conscious Cities movement which advocates for a healthier, more socially-aware and democratic built environment. The CCD consists of an international network of experts, researchers and practitioners across a range of fields, including architecture, design, science, technology, engineering and planning. We strive to promote the mission of the Conscious Cities movement by encouraging dialogue, supporting research and hosting events.
