"Downtown Nairobi is in stark contrast to the images of famine and war that often represent coverage of Africa. Kenya's middle class has grown to 10 percent of the urban population -- or 1.5 million people -- making Kenya home to one of the largest middle class populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Government deregulation stimulated economic growth and turned Nairobbery -- a former nickname for the city -- into a booming economic center. Nairobi reflects this trend with multinational businesses, towering office buildings and a growing middle class [...] who are educated, optimistic and upwardly mobile."
