Without last-mile and first-mile connections there’s no transportation system
Allocating dedicated infrastructure for safe walking, cycling, and other forms of active mobility can stimulate local economies, reduce congestion, and provide greater returns compared to building wider, faster roads. These investments attract economic growth through increased productivity and reduced healthcare costs. Additionally, they contribute to road safety by protecting vulnerable users and creating more climate-friendly cities by lowering carbon emissions. Active mobility infrastructure also improves public health by reducing the risk of chronic diseases and enhancing mental well-being. Without last-mile and first-mile connections, there’s no effective transportation system, as these links ensure seamless integration and accessibility for all.

About Event
The Active Mobility and Universal Access stage focuses on promoting walking, cycling, micro-mobility, and ensuring accessibility for all as Africa rapidly urbanise. While many African cities rely on these transport modes, they often face challenges such as unsafe road conditions and limited access for vulnerable users.
This stage addresses the critical need for inclusive infrastructure by exploring the latest challenges and opportunities in Active Mobility and Universal Access. Discussions will cover policies, regulations, new innovations, and best practices to create safer streets, promote universal access, and integrate micro-mobility solutions. Attendees will gain insights to help build accessible, sustainable urban environments that cater to all residents, regardless of physical ability, and support cities in embracing the future of transportation in Africa
