Hopefully this spreads to all the big cities in the country
 
Soon we'll see Mayors showcasing their cities with large open public spaces. I am hoping to see public parks outside of large cities where people could congregate for leisure, and come together for public events and outings.

This is Riyad, KSA. Much greener, larger spaces could be created all over .So.

I don’t see this happening given how land acquisition works in Somaliaβ€”every plot seems to be privately owned. Parks should be public spaces, not enclosed by gates or massive architectural walls that restrict access. They also need to be thoughtfully designed, not confined to a small 20x20 parcel.

People shouldn’t have to travel to the baadiyo just to access green space. They deserve well-designed recreational areas within the city that provide shade and help mitigate the urban heat effect.
 
Do bear in mind, the country is thinly-populated, scarcely used, and right gov't [operative] could easily repurpose private land turning it into public use. Citizens actually offer land for free when put to good use. Most of the land you might see designated as private land is not actually [legally] private, as it is not registered with the local authority, nor do owners pay property taxes to claim ownership, just designated at free will.
