The highway in Nairobi

 While in Nairobi a highway is being built through the middle of the city, which we also have in Vienna and do not want it, now, perhaps in contrast, a bike path is being built, it is a new central bike route from Kagran through Leopoldstadt to the City. The "mega bike highway" will be about seven kilometers long. One of the centerpieces of the new connection is a road - the redesign of which was controversial for a long time; one lane will be eliminated there on the way out of town, and parking spaces will also have to give way. In its place, a bike path more than four meters wide will be built. This is naturally responsible for an uproar. The almost 4.50-meter-wide bike lane will be designed as a two-directional bike path. It ends in the inner city area.

Here, anyone can see the difference. While Nairobi is going to degenerate in exhaust fumes, Vienna is going a different way - no exhaust fumes, more green. Which certainly can't be called negative.

The conditions in Nairobi are certainly completely different. A direct comparison between the two cities is therefore also difficult and certainly needs a broad understanding of urban planning and public conditions.
