On Sunday, 21 June 2026, Dunga Road in Nairobi’s Industrial Area became a vibrant public gathering space as residents, workers, artists, city officials and international guests came together in support of an ongoing community-led effort to reimagine the street as a safer, greener and more inclusive urban corridor. 

The activation formed part of the opening of the 2026 Innovate4Cities (I4C26) Conference – the first edition of the global conference to be held in Africa – but its roots lie in a much longer journey led by The GoDown Arts Centre and the Dunga Road community.
