More Description
Transport system improvements can have complex and unequal impacts on different sectors of society. Conventional approaches to analysing travel demand and transport system performance developed in the Global North can be ill-equipped to identify and understand the complexities and inequities of cities in the Global South. The book considers the mobilities and immobilities of cities in Africa, Asia and Latin America, through an exploration of the theoretical and methodological entry points we use to understand transport planning in cities. It will be of interest to students, scholars and policy makers of geography, urban studies, urban planning, transport studies and development studies.
