Using Creative Participatory approaches for Inclusive Climate Resilient Transport in Africa

Abstract

Developing inclusive mobility solutions and climate resilient transport infrastructure is a challenge experienced in many African cities. This guidance is aimed at two main audiences relevant to solving the transport challenge: African transport planners and decision-makers; and representatives of disadvantaged groups who feel excluded from current transport policymaking and planning. It summarises key concepts around transport inclusion, participation, and climate change. It introduces selected creative methods that can give a voice to disadvantaged groups. It also provides practical step-by-step information on how and when to use the various methods, supported by inspiring case studies from Africa and around the world. These creative methods can be used to support existing transport planning processes to improve outcomes and deliver more inclusive and climate resilient transport in Africa.
