PILOT PROJECT KAMPALA CITY CENTREIntroducing sustainable urban transport

Kampala is the capital of Uganda and has a population of 1.2 million. During the day, this number increases to 2.2 million due to the influx of 1 million commuters. The streets are packed with taxis, motorcycles, cars, cyclists, pedestrians, street pedlars, all elbowing for a bit of space. Congestion, chaos and air pollution are at very high levels. But it is still a great place to be! In tandem with various organisations and the city authorities, Goudappel Coffeng and the Iganga Foundation have been working for some years now to get the traffic organised and resolve many of the problems in the process. An example in point is the Kampala City Centre Pilot Project, which introduces sustainable urban transport. UNEP (the United Nations Environment Program) is considering contributing 1.2 million dollars to help implement the project in 2012.
