Kisumu (/kiːˈsuːmuː/ kee-SOO-moo) is the third-largest city in Kenya after the capital, Nairobi, and the coastal city of Mombasa. It is also the third-largest city after Kampala, and Mwanza in the Lake Victoria Basin. Apart from being an important political city, it is one of the premier industrial and commercial centres in Kenya. The city is currently undergoing an urban rejuvenation of the downtown and lower town which includes modernizing the lake front, decongesting main streets, and making the streets pedestrian-friendly.
