Poorly planned cities in developing countries create dangerous traffic environments and traffic congestion is growing in many of these rapidly growing conurbations. There is a need for plans and policies that ensure a more equitable appropriation of space for different types of travel modes, from the standpoint of equity, accessibility, safety and environmental protection. Inclusive travel options to allow access within cities to education, healthcare and employment is a critical component of sustainable urbanization; however, of the annual 1.25 million road traffic fatalities globally, 90% are in low and middle-income countries such as those in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Africa has the joint highest road crash fatality rate of all global regions and transport-related deaths are growing and overtaking some major diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera, leprosy, hepatitis and malaria. Over half of all fatalities are among vulnerable groups (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users) and death and injury burdens are heavily skewed towards lower income groups. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for inclusive and sustainable urbanization including increasing the capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management. There is a specific request for improving road safety incorporating local level planning reform to ensure clean and safe mobility within urban systems.Creative methods (e.g. the use of arts interventions, including drama, participatory map making, storytelling, creative writing, photography, etc.) have a particular contribution to make in revealing vulnerable peoples' needs and desires for urban mobility. They have demonstrated value in effectively communicating these needs between stakeholders addressing the need for inclusion in planning processes irrespective of age, gender, religion, origin or economic status. The arts and humanities have a role to play in bringing forward new viewpoints and generating novel solutions by providing a discussion space to explore these key issues. Sometimes providing a counterpoint or challenge to existing bureaucratic and technical knowledge and power processes.This project will build a network of UK arts and humanities academics with their counterparts from East Africa alongside local urban planners, designers, NGOs, civil society groups and urban decision makers. The UK participants have experience of a range of creative approaches used to reveal different groups problems (in relation to mobility and travel); but methods that are also useful in helping identify novel solutions co-designed with these groups themselves. The network will identify how these approaches could be developed and used in East Africa to help address issues around sustainable travel options for all residents of the regions rapidly growing cities contributing to the delivery of the SDGs.

发展中国家规划不良的城市造成了危险的交通环境，在许多这些快速发展的大都市中，交通拥堵日益严重。从公平、可及性、安全和环境保护的角度来看，有必要制定计划和政策，确保更公平地为不同类型的旅行方式分配空间。使人们能够在城市内获得教育、保健和就业的包容性旅行选择是可持续城市化的关键组成部分；然而，在全球每年125万道路交通死亡人数中，90%发生在撒哈拉以南非洲等低收入和中等收入国家。非洲的道路交通事故死亡率是全球所有区域中最高的，与运输有关的死亡人数不断增加，超过了结核病、霍乱、麻风病、肝炎和疟疾等一些主要疾病。所有死亡人数的一半以上是弱势群体（例如行人、骑自行车的人和公共交通工具使用者），伤亡负担严重向低收入群体倾斜。联合国可持续发展目标（sdg）呼吁实现包容性和可持续城市化，包括提高参与性、综合性和可持续人类住区规划和管理的能力。有一项具体要求是改善道路安全，包括地方一级的规划改革，以确保城市系统内清洁和安全的交通。创造性方法（例如使用艺术干预，包括戏剧、参与式地图制作、讲故事、创意写作、摄影等）在揭示弱势群体对城市流动性的需求和愿望方面做出了特别贡献。它们在利益攸关方之间有效沟通这些需求方面已显示出价值，无论年龄、性别、宗教、出身或经济地位如何，都能解决将这些需求纳入规划过程的问题。艺术和人文学科通过提供讨论空间来探索这些关键问题，在提出新的观点和产生新的解决方案方面发挥着作用。有时对现有的官僚主义和技术知识和权力过程提供对位或挑战。该项目将建立一个英国艺术和人文学者与东非同行、当地城市规划师、设计师、非政府组织、民间社会团体和城市决策者之间的网络。英国参与者有一系列创造性方法的经验，这些方法用于揭示不同群体的问题（与流动性和旅行有关）；但这些方法在帮助确定与这些群体共同设计的新解决方案方面也很有用。该网络将确定如何在东非开发和使用这些方法，以帮助解决该地区快速发展的城市的所有居民的可持续出行选择问题，为实现可持续发展目标做出贡献。
