Скачать или смотреть A vision for post pandemic mobility in African cities

The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a very bright light on the unsightly flaws in the way we have designed our systems of mobility in cities across the world. It has called into question a lot of long-held beliefs and assumptions, as well as accelerated a number of existing or emerging trends. With public transport branded as a virus vector, walking, cycling and other forms of non-motorised transport rose to fill the mobility need for many urban residents. Cycling lanes and walkways have been popping up in cities across the globe, from Bogotá to Paris to Jakarta, and even in car-centric cities such as Los Angeles and Sydney, as pandemic-calming measures that ensure physically distanced movement. However, across African cities, where pedestrians and public transit users often occupy the vast majority of urban mobility, such infrastructure continues to be conspicuously absent. Please join the Young Urbanists in a discussion around envisioning post-pandemic mobility in African cities. Seble Samuel, Constant Cap and Marcela Guerrero Casas, three thought-leaders in African urban mobility, will be opening up the conversation by expanding on their recent article for the World Economic Forum:
