Identify the main issues in Urban Transport Planning in Africa. What can Governments do to
effectively resolve those issues
Solution
Urban Transport Planning is one of the crucial issues in Africa, because of rapid growth in
urbanization. According to a study conducted jointly by Africa-European Union (EU)
partnership, a takeoff in urbanization is to take place in Africa, where around 50% of the total
population in Africa will move to urban areas by 2025 with rapid growth in secondary cities.
The main challenges in Urban Transport Planning in Africa are:
1. The current condition reveals that, except few capital cities, most of the urban areas are with
poor urban planning.
2. People have not realized the importance of paratransit services, the current paratransit services
are fragmented and private owned, with very poor quality of service.
3. Another issue in Urban Africa is that of poor road safety and poor design of urban roads. In
Africa, the urban roads are 7% of total urban area. Where as in Europe, it is 30% and it is 20% in
Latin America.
4. The governance of urban transport in Africa is very challenging. The institutional framework
and the planning is very weak in Urban Africa. There is no coherence between planning and
budgeting.
Some of the ways to tackle this issues are:
1. Strengthening the institutional framework and governance on urban transports.
2. Increasing the investments in urban transport sector, by making public private partnership
(PPP) design.
3. Implementing effective policies at city level
4. Looking for financial cooperation from various NGOs and international bodies to improve the
infrastructure
5. Issuing proper guidelines for the public regarding the urban transport facilities and spread
awareness among people about using public transport instead of individual modes
6. Seeking technical and financial assistance from developing countries, which might have faced
same kind of issues in the past.
7. Usage of energy efficient and fuel efficient vehicles for being environmental friendly and for
sustainable development.
Through the above mentioned ways the governments can effectively resolve the issues in Urban
Transport in Africa.
