Urban mobility advocacy
We campaign for safe, affordable and sustainable transportation systems: bus rapid transit corridors, pedestrian walkways and cycling infrastructure that serve all Ghanaians equally and prioritise non-motorised transport.
What we do
Safer streets, built with communities
From the focus areas that guide our advocacy to the signs, crossings and traffic-calming measures already on the ground, this is the work transforming how Kumasi moves.
Focus areas
Six interconnected programmes
Driving sustainable, people-centred urban change across Ghana and the wider African continent.
Community-led spatial planning
We embed directly into communities to co-design public spaces, markets, transit hubs and streetscapes, ensuring local voices and indigenous knowledge shape the urban environments they inhabit and depend on.
Data-driven research
We collect, analyse and publish urban mobility data to inform evidence-based policy. Our work on commuter patterns, pedestrian safety hotspots and spatial inequity drives decision-making at city and national level.
Policy engagement
We engage government ministries, city authorities and development partners to champion transformative policies: inclusive zoning codes to road safety legislation and integrated transport master plans.
Capacity building
We run training programmes, fellowships and workshops to develop the next generation of African urban practitioners: planners, advocates, data scientists and community leaders who will shape our cities from within.
Knowledge exchange
We facilitate South-South learning between African cities, connecting urban practitioners and policymakers across the continent to share lessons, best practices and innovations in mobility and spatial planning.
Projects & initiatives
On the ground in Kumasi
4 road-safety and urban-mobility projects delivered across Kumasi and the Ashanti Region.
Method
We measure first, then we build
Every intervention starts with counts, conflict-point analysis and conversations with the people who use the street daily: traders, pupils and drivers. Only then do we specify what gets installed, and we return afterwards to see whether it worked.
Our impact
Making measurable change
As a young organisation we are already building a track record of practical road-safety and urban-mobility improvements across Kumasi and the Ashanti Region.
