Navigating Southern Africa's mobility challenges : sustainable solutions for land and transport

Abstract

This paper explores mobility solutions to Southern African challenges with a focus on sustainability. The region faces significant issues regarding land use, traffic congestion and adequate transportation infrastructure which hinder efficient mobility and economic growth. Solutions addressed in this paper include land use planning, infill development, bus rapid transport systems and integration of renewable energy into public transport systems. By examining case studies and examples, an emphasis is made on long-term resilient solutions. Ultimately the goal is to explore solutions that develop multiple sectors by solving more than one problem while simultaneously being environmentally responsible.
