  1. Livelihood and Mobility Interconnections • Obvious connections: • Travel to work • Transport as work • SLAM mobility considerations • Mobility’s contribution to livelihood capability • Locality, accessibility and transport infrastructure in relation to the rural-urban spectrum • Differentiated mobility by income strata • Relative immobility of poor & their restricted transport assets

  2. Livelihoods and Mobility • Types of mobility • Residential • Settlement timing • Locational flexibility • Daily Short-distance • Distance to work vis-à-vis formal & informal work • Modal choice - influences travel time and speed • Annual long-distance • Importance of social visits

  3. Mobility and the Capital Asset Pentagon • Trade-offs with respect to Livelihoods, Access and Mobility

  4. Mobility and the Capital Asset Pentagon • Social Capital Asset Trade-offs

  5. Mobility and the Capital Asset Pentagon • Financial Capital Assets and Transport Investment

  6. Conceptualising Livelihoods & Mobility in the SLAM Project • Importance of access and mobility to the generation of economic & non-economic activities (including social visits) • Livelihoods analysis facilitated a multi-sectoral investigation of mobility with respect to: • Social services • Formal and informal work • Social capital pursuits • Mobility and work patterns are highly income-differentiated which must be addressed in poverty alleviation

Policies to Promote ‘Efficient’ Mobility and Access • Ensuring access through planning • Sensitivity to income-differentiated mobility needs • Meeting locality-differentiated mobility needs • Traffic alleviation in the primate city • Preventing future traffic problems in secondary cities • Exploring peri-urban potentialities • Village visions
