CODATU XV

The role of urban mobility in (re)shaping cities

ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA

22 - 25 OCTOBER 2012

And more…

The fi&eenth conference of CODATU (CODATU XV) will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, from 22 to 25 October 2012. 32 years a*er CODATU I in Dakar, Senegal, and ten years a*er CODATU X in Lomé, Togo, CODATU XV is a new occasion to celebrate Africa’s efforts to achieve sustainable urban mobility. ParKcipants will thus be invited to reflect on progress made during this decade and open perspecKves for the next one. The InternaKonal ScienKfic CommiPee, composed of 31 members employed by key insKtuKons of the urban mobility sector, has chosen, for this conference, the theme “The Role of urban mobility in (re) shaping ciKes”. In order to idenKfy ways to systemaKcally improve urban mobility in rapidly expanding ciKes, CODATU XV proposes a large thought plaMorm assembling the whole insKtuKonal framework necessary for compleKon of sustainable transportaKon iniKaKves.

THE FIFTEENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF CODATU

CODATU is a nonprofit organizaKon with an internaKonal vocaKon which promotes internaKonal exchange between different actors, both in transport and urban mobility fields: governments, companies, research insKtutes and professional of urban planning. Every two years, CODATU organizes a conference designed to highlight the scienKfic and pracKcal experiences contribuKng to the implementaKon of a sustainable urban mobility in ciKes of developing countries.

Subthemes:

1.  What form of governance is required for promoKng sustainable mobility?

2.  How do you plan the ciKes of the future? What is the link between transport and town planning? What kind of transport infrastructure can lead to sustainable ciKes?

3.  What types of transport should be deployed? How do you manage traffic?

4.  How do we deal with the needs of people in transport policy? How to make transport systems equitable?

Addis Ababa, an emerging city In 2012, Addis Ababa, a city of roughly 4 million people, celebrates its 125th birthday. Addis Ababa's economy has grown at an average annual rate of about 10% for the last 10 years. Local and naKonal authoriKes have accompanied this expansion by making the city more modern and welcoming.

Addis Ababa’s transportaKon system is currently greatly changing. Anbessa City Bus Service Enterprise, the state‐owned public transport operator of the city, currently manages a fleet of 650 buses, but is waiKng for a rapid delivery of 500 new ones. 10,000 taxis and minibuses also propose a more informal offer. Lack of organizaKon between those different actors was a factor of inefficiency for a very long Kme. However, since 2011, the Bureau of Road and TransportaKon, established as a traffic management unit, organizes a more mulKmodal network. Several mass transit projects are currently under study (a BRT network and a light rail transit). Their implementaKon, scheduled in 2015, coupled with the construcKon of a new Master Plan, will be a unique occasion to remodel the structure of a city predesKnes to incorporate 12 million habitants in 2024, according to UN‐Habitat.

Urban mobility: a challenge for African ciKes

Africa is urbanizing. While it is currently home to 450 million urban dwellers, the conKnent is expected to almost double its urban populaKon in the next two decades. In Africa, and parKcularly in the Sub‐Saharan area where half the populaKon lives on less than U.S. $1.25 per day,

the challenge of urban development is necessarily combined with the objecKves of the fight against poverty. Good transport condiKons are a factor of economic development. However, increased motorizaKon of ciKes which is not accompanied by the modernisaKon of infrastructures accentuates social inequaliKes. Public transport offer is generally based on an informal and unregulated sector while condiKons for walking and cycling are severely degraded by an ever‐growing car traffic. Nevertheless, in recent years, some ciKes have developed urban transport policies and mass rapid transit systems.

OUR PARTNERS Created in 1978, The United NaKons Human Seqlements Programme (UN–HABITAT) aims to help the urban poor by transforming ciKes into safer, healthier, greener places. UN‐Habitat’s missions are organized within the overall framework of sustainable urban development and focus on three programmaKc prioriKes: new urban planning, including mobility and energy; local insKtuKons, governance, and urban legislaKon; and urban economy and municipal finance. Concrete acKon of UN‐Habitat has an operaKonal part (field projects) and a normaKve one (research and publicaKons). In the urban mobility area, UN‐Habitat policies promote several complementary approaches, including: urban planning models and community paPerns that reduce the need for motorized travel; improved infrastructures for pedestrians and cyclists; expanded public transport systems; comprehensive mobility management; and more efficient technologies for vehicles and transit systems.

United CiKes and Local Governments of Africa (UCLGA) is an internaKonal pan African organizaKon assembling African ciKes and local collecKviKes. UCLGA gathers 40 naKonal associaKons of local collecKviKes and 2000 ciKes having more than 100,000 habitants. UCLGA represents more than 350 millions Africans. The mission of the organizaKon is to promote decentralizaKon and reinforce the role of local collecKviKes in the amelioraKon of living environments of African populaKons.

Since 1987, the Sub‐Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) facilitates policy development and related capacity building in the transport sector in Africa. It is a non‐profit think tank funded by development partners. The basic objecKves of the Program are mulKples. Firstly, SSATP seeks to improve the experKse development among the 36 member countries’ relevant insKtuKons. Secondly, it documents Africa‐based and Africa‐led transport policy development and insKtuKon. Moreover, the Program ensures access to transport research and databases. Also, it directly responds to scienKfic requests from member states and stakeholders. By achieving those objecKves, SSATP fills the gap in the transport research chain capaciKes for policy development and planning in Africa. A&er the conference, SSATP members will gather to idenKfy, on the basis of the conference, first key elements of the Third Development Plan of the program, which should start in 2014.

Decade of AcKon for Road Safety 2011‐2020 is a U.N.‐ World Bank campaign who aims to save five million lives, prevent 50 million injuries between now and 2020. In absolute numbers, the road‐related mortality rate per capita in Africa is the highest in the world. Considering that Africa has only 4% of the world vehicle fleet, the rate of return on investment to reduce crashes is very high in Africa, and there is clearly a strong jusKficaKon to idenKfy and implement efficient crash reducKon measures. During CODATU XV, the World Bank will present a special session on this campaign.

AFD is the Groupe Agence Française de Développement, a bi‐lateral development finance insKtuKon that works on behalf of the French government. AFD’s acKviKes are aimed at reducing poverty and inequaliKes, promoKng sustainable economic growth, and protecKng “Global Public Goods” of benefit to all humanity. As it is stated in its last Strategic OrientaKon Project, AFD uses 80% of its subvenKons and 60% of its total budgetary resources in Sub‐Saharan Africa. AFD is financing Addis Ababa’s BRT system, for a cost of 30M€.

Région Rhône‐Alpes is one of France's 22 administraKve regions and has one of largest regional economy in Europe. It is thus part of the network of major European regions; “Four Motors for Europe”. Very acKve on the internaKonal scene, Région Rhône‐Alpes is working with regions in fi*een areas in the world. These collaboraKons are intended to encourage the development of economic, cultural and academic exchanges based on regional experKse: economic development of territory, vocaKonal training, support for decentralizaKon.

The Urban Community of Lyon, also known as Grand Lyon, is the intercommunal structure gathering the city of Lyon (France) and some of its suburbs. It comprises 58 communes. In 2010, Grand Lyon has signed with Addis Ababa a decentralized cooperaKon agreement whose purpose is the transmission of technical experKse in urban development, waste management, urban transport and urban planning. The planning agency of the Grand Lyon notably conducted the feasibility study for the BRT system in Addis Ababa.

The Syndicat mixte des transports pour le Rhône et l'aggloméra)on lyonnaise (SYTRAL) is the transport organizaKon authority of Lyon and its area. Its territory includes 1,3 million persons. SYTRAL also leads decentralized cooperaKon acKons with ciKes developing their transport system, notably Addis Ababa.

The World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS) is an organizaKon whose purpose is to provide a forum for the interchange of ideas among transportaKon researchers, managers, policy makers, and educators from all over the world, from a mulK‐modal, mulK‐disciplinary, and mulK‐sectorial perspecKve. The Society has become a primary forum for such internaKonal exchanges in transportaKon. Its World Conferences, organized every three years since 1977, are the place where leading transportaKon professionals from all countries convene to learn from one another. The best arKcles presented at the conference will be published in the journal of the new organizaKon, Case Studies in Transport Policy.

GIZ is the German Agency for InternaKonal CooperaKon, an internaKonal enterprise owned by the federal Government. GIZ supports the German Government in achieving its development policy. GIZ notably assists its partner countries in designing and implemenKng strategies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transport sector. The primary focus lies on improved public transportaKon systems, integraKon of transport systems in urban planning and the promoKon of energy efficiency in the transport sector.
