The Covid-19 pandemic has brought the concept of urban public space and streets for pedestrians and cyclists to the limelight. Many cities are now putting up both temporary and permanent facilities for this as well as encouraging outflow of restaurants to enable physical distancing.

On Monday we will ask ourselves whether enough is being done in African cities, where majority of the population travel using non motorized means. We will share experiences as well as come up with policy suggestions.

Join us in this Africawide Twitter discussion/Tweetchat on Monday 25th May, Africa Day from 2-3 pm EAT and let us all share our views.
