Snapshot of Urban Transportation System User Needs and Priorities in Accra, Ghana

摘要

Cities of developing countries are engines of growth, but rapid urbanization and uncontrolled land development leads to improper expansion of cities. The result is increased trip distances that impact negatively on transportation, which is a critical service needed for development. There is a general consensus that these trends are not sustainable. The transportation system is complex, consisting of large numbers of elements, which cut across socioeconomic, environmental and cultural concerns. Hence a sustainable solution must seek to integrate all these components into the solution.
