Africa's middle and upper classes are increasingly choosing to retire in modern, infrastructure-rich residential estates rather than returning to their ancestral villages.

• By 2050, Africa's urban population is projected to reach 1.4 billion.
• This shift is driven by a growing demand for secure communities with reliable services and proximity to amenities, replacing traditional kinship networks as a retirement safety net.
• Kenya's pension sector has reached Sh2.81 trillion, supporting a financially capable consumer base fueling this "masterplan migration."
