African cities are facing mobility challenges from rapid urbanization, outdated planning, and insufficient infrastructure. These challenges, however, offer an opportunity to redesign urban mobility systems to be equitable, sustainable, and accessible. Integrating land use with multimodal transport can transform cities into walkable, inclusive spaces, improving access to jobs, education, and services while reducing congestion and emissions.
