TRANSPORT IN ADDIS ABABA
The city of Addis Ababa is experiencing rapid expansion and development. While the current population is estimated at 4.5 million people, some forecasts expect it to grow to 10 million by 2040. Car ownership is increasing, reflecting the increasing economic development and wealth, but this is also leading to severe traffic congestion, pollution and resulting problems related to safety, health and productivity.
THE SCTDP PROJECT
The objective of the Transport Development Plan for Addis Ababa commissioned by AACRA is to appropriately address the transport and mobility challenges identified in Addis, by proposing and planning the implementation of new transport strategies and projects for the city, that are feasible from economic, financial, technical and environmental viewpoints and embraced by the involved authorities and the public. Ramboll is the Lead Consultant of this assignment and will implement the project together with two Italian firms, Mobility In Chain and IRD Engineering as well as a local sub-consultant, MGM Consult.
