Revitalization: A Case Study of Likoni’s Urban Landscape

Abstract

The idea of having an area undergo revitalization carries with it some hope that a newness of some sort would
possibly emerge if at all the end goal is attained. Observations around the world have been made on the impact that
comes along with revitalization thus in a bid to not only partake in developing selected areas, policy makers also
work tirelessly to bring the experience of such achievements to the locals hence sustaining the sensitivity of the
flagship projects. Likoni, located in the southern region of Mombasa County, is one of the vibrant towns along the
endowed Kenyan coast region. Recently, it has undergone a series of urbanization protocols although much can still
be done to raise her status as a proper hub of urbanization. Being another town in a ‘global south’ region, it faces
numerous challenges both internally and externally hence a limiting factor to its development.
