# 3. Kenya National Spatial Plan (2015-2045)

The Plan provides the general trend of spatial development in Kenya by setting out the type of developments that should be put in different zones.

·         The National Spatial Plan was developed by the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning as part of the Vision 2030 project which defines the general trend and direction of spatial development for the country. It seeks to address the disconnect between economic and spatial planning that has led to uncoordinated and unguided development by establishing a broad physical planning framework that provides physical planning policies to support economic and sectoral planning. The Plan is therefore important as it determines the kind of developments including residential settlements that may be put up and in which zones or areas.

·         The Plan notes various urban challenges such as skewed spatial distribution of urban centres, urban sprawl and informality in peri-urban fringe, lack of functional/role specialization, informal settlements, inadequate and inefficient transport and infrastructure, inefficient governance structures and urban poverty.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cahf.gitbook.io/kenya-legal-policy-and-institutional-review/annex-c-laws-policies-regulations-governing-physical-planning/3.-kenya-national-spatial-plan-2015-2045.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
