While in residency at the Nafasi Art Center in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in spring of 2022, I went on a birdwatching tour into the sprawling extensions of a city not quite mega but trending that way. At one site we explored a dwindling wetland, hemmed in on all sides by the informal dwellings and crop-plantings of recent in-migrants to the city, and we looked through the reeds there for local birds like the African Jacana, pictured here. The Jacana has enormous feet which it uses to pace solemnly across mats of floating foliage, and its presence here in this complex social and natural context made me wonder how those feet would serve it in the coming years. Would it be able to pace its way into survival? What about all the people arriving in this city teetering out of the country's long socialist experiment, and into the harsh reality of the totalized capitalist global economy? Where do any of us have to go? And what tools can we rely on when we get there? I carved this block at Nafasi and printed it at home in Portland OR on my Vandercook 3 letterpress.

What challenges do pedestrians and cyclists face in cities of the developing world? What opportunities do these cities have to provide for walking and cycling? Based on in-depth research conducted in Cape Town (South Africa), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Nairobi (Kenya), this book explores these questions by presenting work on walking and cycling travel behaviour, the status of road safety in these cities, as well as an analysis of the infrastructure for walking and cycling, and the workings of the institutions responsible for planning for these modes. The book also presents case studies relating to particular opportunities and challenges, such as the development and evaluation of 'walking bus' interventions, and the opportunities micro-simulation of pedestrian interventions offers within a data-scarce environment. Non-motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa demonstrates that transport and urban planning remains situated in a logic of automobile-dependent transport planning and global city development. This logic of practice does not pay adequate attention to walking and cycling. It argues that a significant shift in both policy as well as political commitment is needed so as to prioritize walking and cycling as strategies for sustainable transport policy in urban Africa. This book will be a key text for practitioners and policy makers working in planning, transport policy and urban development in Africa, as well as students and scholars of African studies, development studies, urban geography, transport studies and sustainable development.
