Alternative “green” mobility scenario for the city of Addis Ababa in the year 2050.
The imagination of clean, bike and pedestrian friendly Addis with a higher modal share of sustainable public transport is mouthwatering.
I praise highly the idea of Addis with more improved access for non-motorized transport users taking into consideration that 70 % of the trips in the city are made on foot according to the World bank report.
Though 2050 sounds too far for me as compared to the conceived ideas/visions, I can not understand why it can not be achieved before that since the initiative is already in place.
I have always had the idea of transforming Piassa, the area between De Gaulle Square and Ras Mekonnen Bridge into a completely pedestrian shopping area. I hope it will be considered as one potential location for the project.
