[sustran] poverty alleviation and basic mobility

[JOHN WHITELEGG]

To:  jeff Turner and walter Hook and all colleagues interested in
transport and urban poverty

Please have a look at a recent article:

Developing strategies to meet the transport needs of the urban poor in
Ghana

by E A Kwakye, P R Fouracre and D Ofosu-Dorte in World Transport Policy
and Practice vol 3 no 1.  the article in the same issue on liveable
streets in nairobi by M Khayesi is also relevant.  Road traffic
accidents will always bear down disproportionately on the poor and are a
mjor public health and transport problem in developing countries.
