Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo and Benin are experiencing rapid urban growth, supported by strong demographic growth. Between 2018 and 2030, the cities in these four countries are expected to have an extra 17 million inhabitants. By 2030, the populations of Ouagadougou and Bamako are expected to double: these two capitals will reach 5.4 and 4.6 million inhabitants, respectively. Lomé and Cotonou are forecast, with lower growth rates, to reach roughly 3 million inhabitants. These metropolitan areas will need to restructure to meet the challenges inherent to their size. However, their growth-related challenges should not overshadow those of the other, so called secondary cities. Although urban migration and growth tend to center on the capitals, the secondary cities, which are much smaller, will by 2030 see increases in population exceeding the capacity of their infrastructure systems. An extra 10 million inhabitants will move to urban areas that often lack infrastructure and basic urban services. This report focuses on a cross analysis of the work conducted simultaneously in 2019 in the four West African countries. The methodology adopted is described below. In each of the countries, under the authority of the ministries in charge of urban mobility, the Consultant produced a diagnostic report and organized a national mobility forum involving all public and private institutional players (at central and local level), civil society and technical and financial partners. Conducted under the supervision of the pertinent ministries and local authorities, these national workshops provided the opportunity to discuss the experts' recommendations in more depth and to define the elements of reform required to enable implementation of a sustainable urban mobility policy. This exercise made it possible to propose, for each country, a draft urban mobility policy letter, a national strategy document in line with the EASI concept (Enable-Avoid-Shift-Improve), and a priority action plan for implementation. A sub-regional workshop was organized in Bamako on 6 and 7 February 2020 with a view to promoting the sharing of experience and enabling a comparative analysis of the methods and results. It was attended by delegations from the four countries covered by this SSATP support program, creating an opportunity to define a shared vision of urban mobility, both for the capital cities and for the secondary cities, and to identify areas of transnational cooperation. This report is based on the work conducted in the four countries and offers a common interpretation of the situation in the four countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali and Togo), supported by an analysis of the specific local contexts and national situations.

"Advanced intelligent predictive models for urban transportation emphasizes the predictive models of Big Data, Genetic Algorithm, and IoT with a case study. It illustrates the predictive models with integrated fuel consumption models for smart and safe traveling. The text is a coordinated amalgamation of research contributions and industrial applications in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems. The advanced predictive models and research results were achieved with the case studies, deployed in real transportation environments. Features: provides a smart traffic congestion avoidance system with an integrated fuel consumption model, predicts traffic in short-term and regular (this is illustrated with a case study), explores efficient traffic light controller and deviation system in accordance with the traffic scenario, considers IoT based Intelligent Transport Systems in a Global perspective and intelligent Traffic Light Control System and Ambulance Control System. The text also provides a predictive framework that can handle the traffic on abnormal days, such as weekends, festival holidays. In addition to that, this book focuses on advanced predictive models along with offering an efficient solution for smart traffic management systems. It is a complete framework for ITS domain with the advanced concepts of Big Data Analytics, Genetic Algorithm and IoT. Advanced intelligent predictive models for urban transportation is primarily aimed at IT professionals. Undergraduates, graduates and researchers in the area of computer science and information technology will also find this book useful"--

"Making Mobilities Matter explores the interconnection between everyday practice and policy and planning in urban mobilities. It develops a theoretical framework for understanding everyday life and its mobilities in a mobile risk society and critiques the technocratic views that still dominate transport politics and research. Recognizing the importance of culture and everyday life in shaping urban mobilities, it examines how contemporary communities exist, expand, and are sustained through localized and virtual forms of sharing responsibility, exchanging life experiences, creating meaning, and giving ontological security to people's lives. It also offers perspectives on the emotional aspect of mobilities in everyday life and how utopias can respond to these emotions. Making Mobilities Matter ends with a discussion of the prospects for urban mobilities in the future and how these issues are vital in battling climate change. Making Mobilities Matter is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to understand the importance of mobilities in sustainable urban development and tackling climate change"--

Cette synthèse sur l'histoire des mobilités et des transports en France, du XIXe siècle à nos jours donnent des repères historiques clairs sur l'évolution des déplacements, de leurs moyens et de leurs enjeux. Cet ouvrage, qui s'inscrit dans une actualité plus que jamais présente, a aussi pour ambition de donner des clés de lecture pour mieux comprendre sur la longue durée des politiques auxquelles les mobilités sont souvent associées : l'urbanisme, l'environnement ou la sécurité. Tous les modes, du tramway au vélo en passant par l'automobile, le train, la marche ou la trottinette, seront réunis au sein de cette histoire des déplacements. Leurs chronologies entrecroisées seront mises en perspective avec une approche multiscalaire et des exemples variés. L'ouvrage présente le récit historique synthétique des enjeux essentiels posés par les mobilités, d'hier à demain. Une première partie dessine une trame chronologique basée sur le déploiement et la gestion politique des systèmes et pratiques de déplacements, depuis l'éclosion des transports modernes jusqu'à une logique d'organisation multimodale entamée au cours des années 1950. Une deuxième partie offre des éclairages sur des problématiques inscrites dans l'histoire mais toujours d'actualité, comme l'aménagement des rues et routes, l'articulation entre rural et urbain ou encore l'évolution des valeurs et symboles attachés aux mobilités.
