Feasibility studies for mass rapid transit have been conducted for Nairobi, Kampala and Dakar to pave the way for financing. In Kenya, six bus rapid transit corridors have been mapped out in Nairobi to reduce traffic congestion, travel time and cost. The corridors are expected to hold up to 950 high-capacity buses and reduce travel time and cost by up to 70 per cent (The East Africa, 2018). By 2030, enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries. Less compact cities have negative effects on development, since sprawl tends to reduce land-use efficiency - economically (e.g., proximity of factors of production), environmentally (e.g., lower per capita rates of resource use and GHG emissions), and socially (e.g., avoidance of settlement on vulnerable land and promotion of reduced travel times/distances) (UN-Habitat, 2016, ECA 2017).
