Urban Mobilities in the Global South (Transport and Mobility)

The book considers the mobilities and immobilities of cities in the Global South through an exploration of the theoretical and methodological entry points we use to understand transport planning in cities. 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 these complexities and inequities in cities of the Global South. Using case studies from cities in Africa, Asia and Latin America, the book addresses the need to understand, the 'lived world' of mobilities that is central to our urban existence in the 21st century.
