This book critically explores the relationship between mobility
patterns, transport provision and urban development in East African
cities. Bringing together contributions on the futures of mobility
in urban East Africa, the chapters examine transport provision,
mobility patterns, location-specific modes of transport and
transformative factors for transport and mobility in the rapidly
urbanising region. The book outlines different mobility needs to be
addressed in transport planning to serve and shape the respective
cities and examines the decision-making process in transport
planning and the level of accountability to the public. The
contributors show the dialectic between innovation in
transport/mobility and urban development under rapid urbanisation
and discusses how to practically integrate mobility and transport
provision into urban development. This book will be of interest to
scholars in urban planning, transport planning, transport
geography, social sciences and African studies.

Urbanisation in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, poses challenges to urban
living conditions. Despite large scale housing programmes from the
side of the government, construction and settling processes have
largely remained incremental. Nadine Appelhans focuses on the
relation between statutory planning and practices of everyday
urbanisation. The findings from Bahir Dar suggest that some mundane
regimes of building the city are patronised, while others are
considered undesired by policy makers. Based on this insight, the
author argues that urban development in Bahir Dar needs to be
locally grounded, differentiated and inclusive to avoid further
tendencies of segregation.
