Abstract

Rapid urbanization and increased motorization are prevalent in Sub-Saharan African cities, where automobiles have become the primary mode of transportation. This reliance has resulted in significant challenges, including traffic congestion, air pollution, and limited access to public spaces. In response, there is an urgent need to reevaluate the role of automobiles in the sustainable urban planning of cities in the Global South. This paper (i) identifies the causes of automobile dependency in selected cities in Cameroon, (ii) examines the impact of automobile usage on the urban environment, and (iii) proposes solutions to reduce automobile dependency. Through 380 surveys and 15 in-depth interviews, the researchers gathered data from residents in four Cameroon cities: Yaoundé, Douala, Bamenda, and Bafoussam, and engaged city stakeholders, including mayors, transport syndicate leaders, and traffic officers to gain insights and perspectives crucial for effective urban transportation solutions. The findings highlight the necessity of reimagining transportation policies and infrastructure in Cameroonian cities to foster more livable, resilient, and inclusive urban environments. By challenging the perception of automobiles as symbols of progress, this research advocates for a holistic urban planning approach that prioritizes the needs of the community and the urban environment in Cameroon.
