Beskrivning
The book considers urban mobilities and immobilities in the Global South through an exploration of the theoretical and methodological entry points that can be used to further the agenda of transport planning. Transport system improvements can (and do) 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’ are typically ill-equipped to identify and understand the complexities and inequities in urban areas of the Global South. Using case studies from urban Africa and Asia, the book addresses the need to understand the ‘lived world’ of mobilities and use this knowledge to address issues that are central to our urban existence in the 21st century.

"Urban Mobilities in the Global South is an edited volume that presents case studies and empirical examples of transport planning and practice in the global South. The editors’ objectives are to “create a knowledge-based starting point for more inclusive planning for sustainable mobilities in cities of the Global South, and for post-colonial cities worldwide” and to “further bolster the mobilities concept within this context” (pages 219 and 1). They also seek to highlight the fundamental differences of accessibility and mobility between the global North and developing post-colonial cities, and argue the crucial importance of “locally produced” knowledge and solutions (page 215)." - Hannah Keren Lee, E&U, International Institute for Environment and Development
