Cycling Cities: The African Experience: explores a century of urban cycling across Africa—from the rural towns of Aba and Zomba to the bustling capitals of Cairo and Cape Town, and many cities in between. Book editors are Njogu Morgan, Ruth Oldenziel, Peter Norton, and Yusuf Madugu.
Why did cycling flourish in some of these cities but fade in others? This richly illustrated volume traces how colonial planners, postcolonial governments, engineers, cyclists, and community groups have shaped the place of the bicycle in African cities over the past hundred years.
Written by an international team of scholars, Cycling Cities situates local experiences within wider global debates on mobility, sustainability, and urban life. It reveals how African cities negotiated the balance between pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists—and how these histories continue to inform today’s struggles for liveable streets and equitable transport.
A must-read for policymakers, community advocates, planners, scholars, and anyone interested in the past and future of urban mobility.
