In the fourth episode of the City Health and Well-being podcast, Vishal Mehta talks to Romanus Opiyo, an urban planner by training and SEI’s program head in their Africa center located in Nairobi, Kenya.
In a wide-ranging conversation, this episode summarises almost six years of our initiative’s work in Kenyan cities, especially Nakuru and Nairobi. From citizen science activities including participatory mapping of water, waste and sanitation services, to Fluorosis, the episode then spends time on ongoing air pollution monitoring in the two cities, and the impact it has had on citizens as well as city and county government.
