| description | Urban-rural linkages and interactions have always been an important part of the urbanization process in sub-Saharan Africa. However, during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the spatial and functional linkages between urban and rural areas were greatly affected by the mobility restriction measures that were enforced to control the spread of the pandemic. These measures disrupted the flow of food and people between urban and rural areas, exposing the interconnected vulnerabilities between food production, distribution and consumption in the urban-rural continuum. This chapter analyzes the impact of COVID-19 containment measures on the flow of food and people in the urban-rural nexus corridor between Nairobi city and Magumu and Kinale rural areas, along the Nairobi-Naivasha-Nakuru Highway in Kenya. The results show that there is a need to improve the management and governance of urban-rural flows in the context of crises to adapt to the existing situation and circumstances. |
