In this episode of Africa Science Focus, we speak to Gladys Nyachieo, a social science researcher, whose work revolves around transforming pedestrian experiences and urban transportation in Kenya. She advocates for the widespread adoption of walking and non-motorized modes of travel, particularly in Nakuru, Kenya.

Our reporter, Michael Kaloki, looks at the practicability of her campaigns and speaks to beneficiaries of work.
