What if the sustainable city was of African inspiration?

This podcast makes an analysis of the concept of sustainable city in the African context starting from a historical retrospective. Then it analyzes the essence of African sustainable practices through the axes of sustainable development: the economy, the social, the environment, and the culture. Finally, it ends with a questioning of the sustainability model of the African city of the 21st century by presenting some approaches to explore.

Urban Mobility in Africa

Addis Ababa, there are more than 4 million trips per day, including those made on foot. In the megacity of Kinshasa, with its vast agglomeration of more than 17 million inhabitants, more than 5.5 million trips per day are made. Today, nearly one African out of two lives in a city, and that is as many people who must travel every day. In this environment, mobility will have to deal with major construction sites, low road density and increasing distances to travel. So how can Africa succeed in ensuring sustainable mobility for its cities and metropolises? This is what we will try to understand through this podcast.
