This image captures a panoramic, elevated view of an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya, with the city's central business district visible in the distant background. In the immediate foreground, on a concrete rooftop, two large, black, cylindrical plastic water storage tanks are present, connected by a visible network of green and grey PVC pipes. To the right, a partially constructed building with grey concrete block walls and a new corrugated metal roof is visible. In the midground, to the left, a multi-story institutional building with a light-colored facade, numerous windows (some appearing damaged), and a green roof is situated next to a large, open, grassy field. Behind this building, a prominent metal water tower with a small structure on its top stands against the skyline. Centrally, an unpaved communal area or field contains approximately ten to fifteen individuals, primarily walking or standing in small groups. The midground and mid-right are dominated by a dense, sprawling informal settlement consisting of numerous single-story dwellings. These structures feature varied construction materials, including rusted corrugated iron sheets for roofs and walls, mud, and wooden planks. Narrow, unpaved pathways traverse the clusters of houses. Scattered trees with green foliage are interspersed throughout the settlement. The background reveals the distant skyline of Nairobi's central business district, characterized by multiple high-rise buildings and skyscrapers, partially obscured by atmospheric haze under an overcast sky.
