International Development in the Research Networking Scheme - Creative Methodological Innovations for Inclusive Sustainable Transport Planning (CMIIST

发展中国家规划不善的城市造成了危险的交通环境，许多这些快速增长的大都市的交通拥堵正在加剧。需要制定计划和政策，确保从公平、无障碍、安全和环境保护的角度为不同类型的出行方式更公平地分配空间。能够在城市内获得教育、医疗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125万例道路交通死亡中，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地区中最高的，与交通相关的死亡人数正在增长，并超过了结核病、霍乱、麻风病、肝炎和疟疾等一些主要疾病。所有死亡人数中有一半以上是弱势群体(如行人、骑自行车的人和公共交通工具使用者)，死亡和受伤负担严重偏向低收入群体。联合国可持续发展目标呼吁包容性和可持续的城市化，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。特别要求将地方一级的规划改革纳入改善道路安全，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、参与性地图制作、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渴望方面做出特别贡献。它们显示了在利益攸关方之间有效沟通这些需求的价值，解决了将不分年龄、性别、宗教、出身或经济状况的需求纳入规划进程的需要。艺术和人文学科可以通过提供讨论空间来探讨这些关键问题，从而在提出新观点和产生新解决方案方面发挥作用。该项目将与来自东非的同行以及当地的城市规划者、设计师、非政府组织、公民社会团体和城市决策者建立一个由英国艺术和人文学者组成的网络。英国参与者拥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)；但这些方法也有助于确定与这些群体共同设计的新解决方案。该网络将确定如何在东非开发和使用这些方法，以帮助解决有关为实现可持续发展目标作出贡献的快速发展城市的所有居民的可持续出行选择问题。

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.
