A rapid increase in rural to urban migration has resulted in serious soil degradation, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, and deteriorating health and safety conditions, which have consequently led to food insecurity and ultimately extreme poverty in Kenyan cities such as Nairobi and Kisumu.

The concept of urban forestry in Zimbabwe is applicable to pockets of forested plots that remain in the urban areas, as well as to newly established woodlots and vegetated parks for recreational and aesthetic purposes. Urban forestry also covers the planting and maintenance of ornamental trees, shrubs and bushes along the main streets, roads and avenues, by private residents to beautify their homes, and in undeveloped areas.
