@MariaSolTADEO thanks for your feedback! The link is working again now.

@NnennaIke a very good question! At Women Mobilize Women we have only started to explore this and so far concluded that without extensive qualitative research it's impossible to properly establish the link and understand how intersectionality ultimately affects mobility decisions and behaviour. But happy to learn more about it and discuss!

Thanks for sharing these insights into your journey!

What would you say are the biggest challenges in Yaounde?

We hope you’ll find this course useful for your research work! We would definitely be keen to learn more about your research project on mobility in Yaounde. Would you be willing to share some insights in the topic and focus questions?

Great to have you hear! Do let us know what you think about the course and how useful it is for professional context.

@LucasSchwarz Lobbyism and lack of political will! my opinion.
Germany has a very torn society: some a pro-„Verkehrswende“ and others prefer to do „business as usual“. This divide doesn’t go unnoticed by politicians.

Viviane Weinmann made a comment
To give this learning step a happier ending I am sharing with you the urban transformation story of the Spanish medium-size city Victoria gasteiz where the city administration and citizens worked together to create an alternative story for their city:...
-
I remember when I first learned about the phenomenon of “induced demand” back at university. It blew my young mind back then ;-)
Are you aware of the concept?
-
Very true. I’d add: perception of personal security. (Sexual) harassment in public transport is a big problem in many cities worldwide. If left unaddressed women, BIPoC, etc. will be safer using their private cars instead (if they can afford it)
-
I agree that there is a so called elite that is keen to push for motorised private vehicles in every corner of the world for the ones you can afford it.
This neglects the other side of the coin though: who builds the roads and parking spaces for these? Who makes decisions on urban speed limits? Who decides on funding for public transport? Etc.
-
Indeed. And it doesn’t help that private cars are becoming bigger and bigger.

Week 1 is meant as an easy entry into the topic and the self-paced learning style. We hope you enjoyed it! See you in Week 2!

I couldn't agree more! I wonder what needs to happen for city authorities to consider good public transit provision a necessity and baseline service to serve all citizens and contribute to greener mobility behaviours instead of a service you'd only have it makes enough money.

Thanks for sharing this horrific example. This means pedestrian and general walkability haven't been considered in the designs at all?!

Viviane Weinmann replied to Ella Q
Welcome Ella! I really enjoyed reading your about your "mobility behaviour" :) and you made an intersting point: for some people driving is joy which makes convicing someone to switch to alterantive modes of transport a very different discussion.

Welcome, Pierre! I hope you find this course interesting and useful to advance your career in sustainable urban mobility.

@AlexanderJamesLovell very great point, thanks! Unfortunately, the fact that public transit and the way its designed and offered can be discriminated for different groups of people is still unknown to many.
Through awareness raising and advocacy we intend to shine a light on this issue, e.g. see our latest blog post looking at the problem of sexual...

Enjoy your visit - it's a really nice city! If you have time you can visit the Vauban quarter which is a great example for well integrated urban and transport planning as well as a "car-light" planning approach:

Viviane Weinmann replied to Pita Asih Bekti Cahyanti
Welcome, Pita. You should have no problem following this course part without having done Part 1 beforehand. We set both courses to work independently from each other ;)
-
Good question! I am unfortunately not aware of any studies on this in particular. But I would assume since the provision for other transport modes such as closer bus stops or better walking / cycling infrastructure is usually better in such car-parking-free neighbourhoods some people would opt not to own a car.
-
Another example would be the Vauban neighbourhood in Freiburg, South Germany, which didn't go 100% car-free but at least "private vehicle reducing"
-
A minor side note on tall buildings instead of detached housing: Building vertically up also saves on the construction and cost of utilities such new streets, utilities such telecomm, electricity cables, sewerage, etc. and their maintenance.

Do you by any chance know the percentage of motorized vehicles contributing to Delhi’s air pollution problem? I‘d assume heating in winter or agricultural burnings may be big contributors as well

I couldn’t agree more! One of the key reasons why developed this online course and run it for free. We need a lot more people to know ASAP to make a change in their respective cities.

Interesting comment on the modal shift between transit users only. Thanks for sharing @SantiagoCortinez

Very good observations. The graphic is actually based on study undertaken by Vasconcellos in Brazil. I agree that for London or other European cities it would look differently.

If you haven’t already been: I recommend you visiting Singapore’s city planning museum in Telok Ayer (by URA). It always has great exhibits on how ur and and transport planning can be better integrated. The poor alignment of these two disciplines is often a key source of our problems

Welcome! Great to have someone from a municipality here!
-
I like your honesty! :D there is a great podcast called the “war on Cars”, have you heard about it?
-
I’d say they can. For example there a variety advocates are pushing decision makers to “build back better” or to promote a “green recovery” as part of the COVID-19 response. An example would be the pop-up bikelanes that were turned into permanent ones.

very important comment! SUSTAINABLE transport also has to consider social aspects and catering for minorities and more vulnerable people of our society.

That's great news. I spent some time in infrastructure planning in South East Asia and a major "excuse" by decision makers to not accomodate walking & cycling was that it's too hot and therefore walking and cycling is just not popular.
