Challenges and Prospects of Contemporary Paratransit: Mobility, Daily Survival, and Urban Politics in Asia and Africa

Meanwhile, it has been a center of various major issues socially, culturally, and politically. This international seminar invites three scholars, who focus their studies on transport issues in Philippines, Nigeria, and Ethiopia respectively. Based on their rich experience in the field, they will present occurrent issues and challenges that paratransit faces and tries to see its future prospects across Asia and Africa.
