This project aims to conduct a comparative analysis of new road schemes in East Africa and the Western Indian Ocean (a region which sits at the intersection of several major global transport and development corridors), in order to understand their economic, socio-political, cultural and public health effects. As global road-building accelerates at an unprecedented rate, especially in the developing world, there is an urgent need for new models for understanding roads' potential economic benefits, as well as their risks, including their environmental risks. This project is benefitting citizens, NGOs, donors and governments, by generating new knowledge about how we have in the past, do at present, and should in the future, engage with roads.

该项目旨在对东非和西印度洋（该区域位于几个主要的全球运输和发展走廊的交汇处）的新道路计划进行比较分析，以了解其经济、社会政治、文化和公共卫生影响。随着全球道路建设以前所未有的速度加速，特别是在发展中国家，迫切需要新的模式来了解道路的潜在经济效益及其风险，包括环境风险。该项目通过产生关于我们过去如何、现在如何以及将来应该如何与道路打交道的新知识，使公民、非政府组织、捐助者和政府受益。
