TOWN PLANNING SHOULD FOCUS ON NON-MOTORISED MOVEMENT

For the country to overcome the challenge of urban mobility in towns and cities, town planners must make efforts to enhance access through the incorporation of non-motorised movement such as walking and cycling.

This was the submission of a former president, Nigerian institute of town planners, Alhaji Waheed Kadiri, who spoke with our correspondent on the theme of this year’s world Habitat Day, ‘Urban Mobility’

He said urban planning must see mobility as one of its raison d’etre, adding that confronting the challenge was important as world was becoming predominantly urban.
