Abstract：

With the continuous advancement of the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, the spatial planning systems of countries related to the Belt and Road Initiative have attracted widespread attention. This paper first systematically compares the evolution of Kenya’s spatial planning system using time as an axis. It can be divided into four temporal stages: the period of tribal rule, the period of colonized rule, the period of independent statehood, and the period of development after the constitutional amendment. This paper also analyses the characteristics of Kenya’s spatial planning system under the equity orientation: pursue fairness in land management and setting limits on the types of land titles and the amount of land owned by individuals; pursue fairness in the planning and implementation process, with multi-perspective and multi-sectoral monitoring and pursue fairness in regional development, and pay attention to the development and planning of disadvantaged areas. This paper can be a reference for the study on the planning characteristics of the countries along the Belt and Road.
