T-SUM: Transitions to Sustainable Urban Mobility

About this project
This is an interdisciplinary and cross- sector collaborative project that aims to identify the conditions under which pathways to sustainable and inclusive transport and land use development can be accelerated in growing cities in the Global South. It is grounded in the observation that, in the context of still-low-but-rising levels of motorization, economic growth and increasing social and spatial inequalities, the formulation and implementation of policies, practices and partnerships that can support an accelerated implementation of sustainable mobility structures is an urgent concern for rapidly developing cities. The project focuses on Freetown, Sierra Leone and Maputo, Mozambique, as relevant examples of growing urban economies in Sub-Saharan Africa and other parts of the Global South. The project is sponsored by various international development agencies, such as the World Bank and includes the participation of local research institutions such as the Sierra Leone Urban Research Centre, SLURC.
