Urban Transport in Africa

This lecture explores the evolution of urban transport in African cities, focusing on the failure of public transport companies, the impact of liberal economy policies, and the segmentation of transport management. It discusses the transition from public to private transport services and the challenges faced by both public and private transport companies. The lecture also covers the effects of structural adjustment programs on transport, the privatization of national transport services, and the investments in transport infrastructure. Additionally, it examines the concept of 'agenciarisation' in transport management and the implications of project-oriented logic in transport planning.
