Never mind the next Somerville, what's the next Boston?

Let's start with Budalang'i, Kenya, a town of some 60,000 people near the Ugandan border, which is slated to get its first college next year, despite the fact that the entire place floods several times a year:

"When you hear of Budalang'i, you easily relate it to floods and all sorts of calamities but that will soon be in the past if we embrace education. We cannot always grow through the conservative ways of industrialization. Look at Boston which is a world class city thanks to education. It has many top range universities and there is where Budalangi is going," [MP Ababu Namwamba] said.
