‘Our walking is our asset’: Exploring the way in which walking is valued in pedestrian practice and policy in African cities
This study reports on online survey data and in-depth interviews to explore how walking is valued in transport policy and practice in Africa
Abstract
This study reports on two sets of primary data – online survey data and in-depth interviews – to explore how walking is currently valued in transport policy and practice in Africa, and what are the most effective actionable solutions to address the barriers limiting the value of walking. This study addresses recommendations from a recent review into institutional and political factors affecting walking and urban transport policy, which suggested that more insight is needed into the political processes and decision-making in urban transport in Africa.
