Concepts for Uhuru Park Renewal Project

Dear David,
We have worked hard and finalized a very interesting proposal to enhance and renew this very important landmark for Kenya and Nairobi, Uhuru Park. The rejuvenation of the park relies on the increased numbers of vegetation we propose for inclusion. We have constructed the design concept of this project with the desire to turn this park into the biggest outdoors learning center in Nairobi. For this purpose we envision the construction of a history study area, botanical garden, and an open library. These there components of the park will enhance the students experience and learning outcome.
                The park’s strategic position in a dynamically growing central business district has inspired us to enhance and increase the pedestrian walkways in different directions. Accessibility is very important for the flow of the pedestrian traffic. For that purpose we have introduced some new entrance and exit points of the park. This will allow for a good communication between the developing neighborhoods and the CBD. We have divided the park’s communication arteries into three: main ones for heavy traffic; secondary ones for medium traffic; tertiary ones for light traffic. We have also included a parking lot to accommodate the park visitors coming from afar.
                Our project design also includes plenty of relaxation spots and perks, spread out throughout the park. In the pictures you’ve provided we see how people like to relax in the shade and lay on the ground. That’s why we have come up with the idea of the wooden lounge areas where the visitors can either sit or lay on.  Next to each wooden lounge relaxation spot we have placed little book houses - shelves with a top cover that will contain books and magazines that people may borrow and return after reading. With the provided Wi-Fi hotspots, eating tables, playgrounds and even hammock area we have initialized tools for maintaining a great comfort and high utility level. To top it off our project includes some entertainment and sports spots like the performance stage, outdoor gym, and skating zone. Large gatherings and lectures can take place at the many grass areas.
                In order to enhance the eco importance of Uhuru Park we propose an increase of the tree/shrub vegetation with more than fifty percent. That will increase the shaded areas with about thirty percent, provide some isolation, and bring up the aesthetics of the park. With the addition of the new vegetation around the perimeter we will decrease the dirt and the noise coming from the surrounding roads.
                We have developed a “Detail Plan” scaled 1:250 over the central area of the park. This plan will show the details of the paved alleys with artistic design “Raindrops on a lake”.
                We would like to show our appreciation for the opportunity to work on the very important park Uhuru in Nairobi, Kenya. We hope that our long professional experience will assist you with the realization of the park’s rejuvenation.   
I'm ready to answer any project-related questions.
