Beskrivning

This book confronts the persistent problem of transport exclusion in Global South cities, where urban poor populations—reliant almost entirely on walking—face arduous journeys and daily risks to their safety. It reveals that the concerns of local populations are rarely at the forefront of transport policy decisions, sometimes resulting from a wish to streamline traffic flows but at other times to explicitly exclude the poor. Addressing the issue of neo-colonialism, the book shows how socially just planning can fulfil the mobility and accessibility needs of urban poor citizens.
