BASIC thinking | The Future of Transportation in South Africa & how it's impacted by the past @basicthinkingtv | Uploaded September 2018 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
Transport plays a major role in urban development, by providing access for communities to schools, jobs, healthcare, and other vital services. Enhanced mobility for low-income groups is one of the most important preconditions in improving the standards of living. Cities that have high-quality transport systems, which prioritize public transport and non-motorized ways of getting around, rank at the top when you look at the quality of life.
Having a long history of social segregation, one of the greatest challenges post-apartheid cities face is inequality and spatial inefficiency caused by apartheid planning. Structural deficiencies caused by segregation and low-density sprawl created long-distance work-travel patterns.
