Several Nairobi estates are slated for demolition under the Nairobi Urban Renewal Project to replace aging low-density housing with modern apartments. This ambitious program aims to accommodate the city's rapidly expanding population, projected to reach 10 million by 2050.

• Among the estates targeted for redevelopment are Woodley, Bahati, Maringo, Jericho, Lumumba, Ziwani, Bondeni, Kariobangi, and Embakasi.
• Chief Officer of Housing and Urban Renewal Lydia Mathia emphasized the necessity of these redevelopments due to Nairobi's daytime population surging past 7 million.
• Original tenants, such as those in Woodley estate, will receive Ksh900,000 in relocation support and a legally binding allotment letter guaranteeing a unit in the redeveloped estate, with construction expected to take two to three years.
