Metamorphosis Global
Developing neighbourhoods in Bangladesh to be more child-friendly, through the illustration of practical case studies and a local-language online toolkit
Abstract
This is a Transport-Technology Research Innovation for International Development (T-TRIID) final report
Metamorphosis Global builds on the work of two existing on-going projects at the University of Southampton (UoS): Metamorphosis EU, and the Global Road Safety Research Centre’s STARS (Socio-Technical Assessment of Road Safety) Project. The premise of the Metamorphosis Project is that the urban environment can be improved if it is designed with the most vulnerable users in mind, namely children . Similarly, the STARS Project is demonstrating how socio-technical approaches can improve road safety in Low/Medium Income Countries (L/MICs).
The purpose of this document is to provide a succinct description of the results of the Metamorphosis Global Project. In the rest of this section, the problem that is being considered will be detailed and the aims and objectives of the project outlined. In Section 2, the proposed solutions will be stated, whereas in Section 3 the work conducted to achieve these solutions will be described. In Section 4, the main project findings will be outlined, including the results of surveys conducted at BUET (Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology) and AKH (Abdul Khalique High) schools. Section 5 discusses the next steps and finally Section 6 will draw some conclusions.
This is an output of the Applied Research Programme in High Volume Transport
