Abstract
In big cities in low and middle income countries, vulnerable populations often face challenges in accessing services and economic opportunities, owing to disadvantages stemming from spatial inequalities. Today 55% per cent of the world's population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is projected to rise to about 70% by 2050. Improving the mobility of vulnerable populations in large urban centres is therefore central to reduce poverty and enhance global wellbeing in a sustainable manner.
This is an output of the ieConnect for impact programme.
