In this episode we speak with Carly Gilbert-Patrick from UNEP about the current state of walking and cycling (often referred to as 'active mobility') across Africa. We touch on the differences and similarities between regions and countries, the impact of motorisation on active mobility infrastructure as well as changing hearts and minds to see pedestrians and cyclists as priorities in transport planning.
