Furthermore, it also examines the various ways in which these new infrastructures have improved or improved the quality of life of the city residents. Design/methodology/approach: Nairobi city was chosen as it is the biggest and largest city in east and central Africa. The literature theories used in this paper were gathered from various internet sources such as the website of Nairobi city authority and also from the website of different media companies. In addition to these, some literature sources and books were also used to gather information for the paper as well as audio-visual sources like YouTube. Personal experience about the country and the city was also used as the author comes from the country and the city being talked about in this paper. Findings: The outcome of this theoretical paper was that indeed the efficient mobility within a city depends on how well the infrastructures are efficient. These include transport, technology, environmental and social infrastructures. These infrastructures help to improve mobility to a higher level as compared to the previous ones. The new ones being implemented by the city authorities and the central government play a crucial role in improving the living standard of the city residents by easy and efficient movement within the city. The new infrastructures range from physical infrastructures, technologies, the organization to the management of the whole city as all must be combined for efficient mobility. Originality/value: This article deals with how the new infrastructures help in improving mobility within urban settings especially in a developing world like Kenya. It also looks at the past, current, and future plans for the city's infrastructural development to enhance mobility. These also include the political, social, and economic will of the authorities concerned.
