Transport Planning and Mobility in Urban East Africa
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.

Mumbai on Two Wheels : Cycling, Urban Space, and Sustainable Mobility
Cyclists from India reimagine transportation infrastructure for allMumbai is not commonly seen as a bike-friendly city because of its dense traffic and the absence of bicycle lanes.Yet the city supports rapidly expanding and eclectic bicycle communities.Exploring how people bike and what biking means in the city, Jonathan Shapiro Anjaria challenges assumptions that underlie sustainable transportation planning.Arguing that planning professionals and advocates need to pay closer attention to ordinary people who cycle for transportation or for work, or who choose to cycle for recreation, Mumbai on Two Wheels offers an alternative to the thinking that dominates mainstream sustainable transportation discussions.The book’s insights come from bicycle activists, commuters, food delivery workers, event organizers, planners, technicians, shop owners, and architects.Through ethnographic vignettes and descriptions of diverse biking experiences, it shows how pedaling through the city produces a way of seeing and understanding infrastructure.Readers will come away with a new perspective on what makes a city bicycle friendly and an awareness that lessons for a more equitable and sustainable urban future can be found in surprising places.

Urban Air Mobility : Intelligent, Safe and Sustainable Systems for Future Transportation
This book is a resource for engineers and researchers to develop intelligent, safe, and sustainable systems for urban air mobility.In recent years, the growth of the world’s urban population has increased tremendously, and it is predicted that by 2040, 70% of the world population will be living in an urban setting.Existing ground transportation will be unable to cope with such an expansion, especially as congestion and over-crowding becomes more common.An answer may be found with the advent of recent technologies such as urban air mobility, which may play a vital role in providing solutions for public transportation. The impact of modelling, analysis and application of intelligent algorithms is very much at the core of the design and implementation of Urban Air Mobility.The various chapters are configured to address the challenges in modelling, analysis, navigation, traffic control, battery efficiency, safety and security in terms of Artificial intelligence techniques.

What is important for sustainable urban development?
Sustainable urban development is important for creating livable, resilient, and inclusive cities for current and future generations. Key factors for sustainable urban development include promoting compact and efficient land use, investing in public transportation and infrastructure, prioritizing green spaces and biodiversity, and implementing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building practices. Additionally, community engagement and participation, social equity, and economic prosperity are crucial for creating sustainable urban environments. Finally, effective governance and collaboration between government, businesses, and civil society are essential for achieving sustainable urban development goals.

Are electric cars sustainable?
Electric cars are generally considered more sustainable than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles because they produce zero tailpipe emissions, reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the sustainability of electric cars depends on how the electricity used to charge them is generated. If the electricity comes from renewable sources like wind or solar power, then electric cars can be considered truly sustainable. Additionally, the production and disposal of electric car batteries can have environmental impacts, so advancements in battery technology and recycling processes are important for the overall sustainability of electric vehicles.
-
Is sustainable urban development a model for the future?
Yes, sustainable urban development is a model for the future as it promotes the creation of cities that are environmentally friendly, socially inclusive, and economically viable. By integrating green spaces, efficient public transportation, and renewable energy sources, sustainable urban development can help reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Additionally, it can improve the quality of life for residents by providing access to affordable housing, healthcare, education, and job opportunities. Overall, sustainable urban development offers a holistic approach to city planning that can contribute to a more resilient and equitable future for urban areas.

How do electric motors work in electric mobility with cars?
Electric motors in electric cars work by converting electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. When the driver accelerates, the electric motor receives power from the battery and generates torque to propel the car forward. This process is more efficient than traditional internal combustion engines, as electric motors have fewer moving parts and can deliver power instantly. Additionally, electric motors can also act as generators during braking, converting kinetic energy back into electrical energy to recharge the battery, a process known as regenerative braking.

Designing Innovative Sustainable Neighborhoods
This book covers fundamental aspects of neighborhood planning and architecture along sustainable principles.Written by a designer and instructor, the book’s fully illustrated chapters provide detailed insights into contemporary strategies that architects, planners and builders are integrating into their thought processes and residential design practices. Past approaches to planning and design modes of dwellings and neighborhoods can no longer sustain new demands and require innovative thinking.This book explores new outlooks on neighborhood design, which are propelled by fundamental changes that touch upon environmental, economic and social aspects.It presents contemporary well-designed and illustrated examples of communities and detailed analysis of topics including the depletion of non-renewable natural resources, elevated levels of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.It also explores the increasing costs of material, labor, land and infrastructure, which pose economic challenges; as well as social challenges including the need for walkable communities and the increase in live-work environments. The need to think innovatively about neighborhoods is at the core of this book, which will be useful to students and practitioners of urban design, urban planning, geography and urban systems; and to architecture studios focused on sustainable residential development.
