How will these resources help you?

Geographers studying strategies to improve life for the urban poor will often be drawn to regeneration schemes, but bus rapid transit systems are definitely worth a look. These schemes aim to optimise the use of public transport to tackle congestion and air pollution in rapidly developing cities, providing affordable transport for urban dwellers and increasing the mobility of the urban poor. This list will introduce you to the first BRT, in Curitiba, and the largest, in Bogota. However, not all cities can be easily adapted to include a BRT: Kampala is included as an example. These case studies will prove useful to teachers and students on strategies to improve life for urban communities at GCSE level and urban management at A-level or equivalent.
