City connectivity and social inclusion
Poor connectivity between the city centre and neighbourhoods must be improved through sustainable transport to enhance social inclusiveness and ensure disadvantaged groups can access employment, healthcare, education, and other services.
Within the city there is poor connectivity between the city centre and neighbourhoods due to a dominant road infrastructure and poorly designed housing areas. Promoting sustainable connectivity is vital to social inclusiveness and improves the ability of local communities, in particular disadvantaged or vulnerable groups, to access employment and important services such as healthcare, education, shopping and leisure.
