Abstract :The study investigates the relationship between slums and capitalism in Nairobi, Kenya. The paper introduces Harvey and Davis theoretical explanation to examination the continues existence of slums. However, the study does not offer a comprehensive examination of all the slum areas in Kenya but focuses on Nairobi, the capital city. The paper presents that despite the poor quality of life and service delivery in these areas urbanization continues at a high rate. The article offers critical insights on how capitalist liberal policies perpetuate the vicious cycle of poverty for those living in slums. This study further highlights the rights violations of those living in slums due to the unavailability of basic services and little government intervention.
