ArticleThe preparation of an Integrated Urban Development Plan (IUDP) for an urban center requires a grasp of the situation in terms of issues and challenges facing the residents of that particular urban center. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats can then be analyzed and the planning process approached in an integrated manner. The integration is not only in terms of sectors, but also the stakeholders including the public and urban management. Nambale town is a vibrant urban establishment along the Mumias-Busia highway and one of the towns within Busia County, Kenya. This study sought to carry out a situation analysis of Nambale town with a view of bringing out issues that will inform the preparation of an IUDP. Data from different sectors (Education, Housing, Economic sector, Health, Recreation, Transport, Energy, Environment, Water and Security) was collected, analyzed and presented. Questionnaires, key informant interviews and consultative meetings were some of the methods that were used to collect the data. The data gathered and information generated will hopefully assist in the preparation of an IUDP and result in a sustainable and resilient urban Nambale.
