Abstract:Primary purpose is to present some empirical findings from Nairobi in the light of western-based theories of the spatial structure of urban land values. Analysis reveals: a very significant regularity between land values and distance from city center as hypothesized; a minor, but significant, role of population density in the variation of the value surface; the in western cities non-important variable of racial composition has been a fairly powerful factor in Nairobi and may be characteristic of other former colonial cities. Notes, figures, summary on p. 61.
