Selected urban development work
Traffic Impact Assessment Study for the Proposed Expansion of the Social House Hotel
Consortium: Blacksheep Design / Design 54 / DLR Group
Challenge: The proposed expansion introduced new hospitality and wellness facilities, increasing pressure on local roads and parking infrastructure.
Solution: GLINCE assessed travel demand, parking needs and internal traffic flow, providing strategic traffic modelling and engineering design for seamless integration with the surrounding road network, ensuring both guest convenience and neighbourhood harmony.
Traffic Impact Assessment Study for the Proposed African Union Campus
Challenge: The planned African Union campus in Kabete, Nairobi, demanded a proactive traffic solution to accommodate conference facilities, residences, and administrative offices.
Solution: GLINCE delivered a full suite of traffic impact assessment services, including capacity analysis, safety reviews, and internal circulation design. Our work supports a campus that balances security, accessibility, and environmental considerations.
Traffic Impact Assessment for Proposed Multistorey Investment Building for Tanzania Embassy in Nairobi
Consortium: K&M Archplans (Tz) Ltd
Challenge: A mixed-use 22-storey tower by the Tanzania Embassy in Upper Hill required a plan to manage multi-level access, internal parking, and surrounding network impacts.
Solution: GLINCE conducted detailed traffic and safety assessments, developed roadway designs, and supervised implementation. Our plan ensures smooth vehicular movement and optimises both construction and long-term traffic management.
Traffic Modelling and Network Improvement Options Report for Ugatuzi Tower
Consortium: China Overseas Engineering Group Co., Ltd (COVEC) and Udesign Architects
Challenge: The proposed 29-storey Ugatuzi Tower in Kilimani—a high-density mixed-use development—posed significant mobility challenges. The area is already burdened by peak-hour congestion, and the development's scale demanded strategic interventions to avoid exacerbating traffic conditions and ensure user safety.
Solution: GLINCE Ltd carried out advanced traffic modelling and road safety assessments to evaluate both internal and external network impacts. We developed solutions including optimised internal circulation systems, reconfiguration of access points, and improvements to external road segments and intersections.
Traffic Study for the Proposed Access Improvement and Traffic Circulation at The Hub Karen
Consortium: Janus Continental Group
Challenge: The Hub Karen's continued growth highlighted deficiencies in parking, internal circulation, and entry/exit management during peak hours.
Solution: GLINCE developed a comprehensive traffic strategy including capacity modelling, road safety evaluation, and design of internal and access roads. Our recommendations now shape a smoother, safer and more visitor-friendly experience for Nairobi's premier shopping destination.
Traffic Study for the Proposed Mixed-Use Development at Tatu City
Challenge: Tatu City is one of Kenya's largest private urban developments, combining residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional land uses. The scale and complexity of the project demanded a comprehensive mobility framework to ensure seamless access, safety, and functionality across zones.
Solution: GLINCE Ltd conducted a holistic traffic assessment encompassing internal circulation planning, access road design, and safety analysis. Using advanced traffic modelling, we evaluated capacity needs and user dynamics to support long-term mobility, forming the foundation of a sustainable and smart urban mobility network.
Preparation of the Kilifi Municipality Integrated Strategic Urban Development Plan (ISUDP)
Consortium: Geosurveys and Geospatial Information Ltd
Challenge: Kilifi needed a coherent long-term development strategy to guide municipal expansion and infrastructure investment.
Solution: GLINCE supported the preparation of Kilifi's ISUDP, focusing on transport infrastructure mapping, scenario planning, and sustainable mobility policy development — supporting strategic decision-making for the next 10 years.
