Africa Urban Mobility Observatory Policy and Planning Insights Report: Big Data to Enable Inclusive, Low-Carbon Mobility

Abstract

The key objective of the Africa Urban Mobility Observatory (AUMO) research project is to promote inclusive, low carbon mobility in African Low-Income Country (LIC) cities, by piloting Big Data applications to generate data, benchmark performance, and draw policy insights in 6 African cities. These insights will be used to develop Action Plans in two of these cities, and catalyse broader uptake via a Web Data Platform, workshops, and research. This research paper compares policy regimes to better understand and optimise sustainable mobility pathways. It analyses the mobility performance and policy drivers of Blantyre (Malawi); Kinshasa (DRC); Maseru (Lesotho); Lagos (Nigeria); Kigali (Rwanda) and Gaborone (Botswana).

This is an output of the High Volume Transport Applied Research Programme
