Urban Inequality and Covid-19
Accessibility and sustainable mobility transitions in Africa
In the context of still-low-but-rising levels of motorization and economic growth, increasing social and spatial inequalities, and growing concerns about air pollution and climate change, the formulation and implementation of policies, practices and partnerships that can support an accelerated implementation of sustainable mobility policies is an urgent concern for rapidly developing cities. This paper seeks to contribute to reframing some of the…

Constructing wellbeing, deconstructing urban (im)mobilities in Abuja, Nigeria
This chapter engages with a discussion on the role of transport mobility in the wellbeing of low-income urban citizens of the Global South. Using the case of Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, we explore transport-related vulnerabilities and disadvantages for low-income and vulnerable groups and how they are addressed by local transport. First, the chapter aims to illustrate the importance of new knowledge(s) and methodologies critical to the future …
Planning for Mobility and Socio-Environmental Justice
In 2004, Medellín, Colombia's second largest city, implemented the world’s first modern urban aerial cable-car public transport system. The impetus and subsequent history of this initiative are marked, on the one hand, by a commitment to social urbanism and spatial justice, and on the other hand, by neo-liberal elements related to making the city more nationally, regionally and globally more competitive. As a relatively cheap, clean and highly vi…
Travel choice reframed
Transport is a critical system in the city, which, through providing access to essential activities, enables diverse women and men, girls and boys to “appropriate” their right to the city and to realize a fully rounded and substantive urban citizenship. Yet, despite decades of work on gender in urban development and urban planning, mainstream transport planning still remains largely untouched by debates on diversity and difference in cities. The …

Addressing Men and Masculinities in GAD 1
Summaries The GAD approach in both concept and practice has been inconsistent in its treatment of men and masculinities. In their work on mainstreaming gender in policy and planning, the authors have tried to confront these inconsistencies in a number of ways. This article reviews the way men and masculinties have been addressed in GAD, drawing primarily on the Development Planning Unit (DPU), University College London's academic, training and ad…
Reducing urban poverty; some lessons from experience
Many donor agencies are recognizing the need to address the growing levels of urban poverty in Africa, Latin America and much of Asia. Many also acknowledge that they had under-estimated the scale of urban poverty. As they develop or expand programmes on poverty reduction in urban areas, there are many remarkable initiatives on whose experience they can draw. This paper reflects on the lessons from seven of these: three from Asia, three from Lati…
The Environment for Children
Gender and the environment
The achievement of sustainable development depends on the availability and use of a coherent planning methodology to ensure the integration of gender issues and environment into development. Gender and the environment: the challenge of cross-cutting issues in development policy and planning suggests a basis for an explicit conceptual framework which can be used as a first step to translating an integrated perspective into organizational relations…
