Systematic Review of Sustainable Transport Network Design Methodologies for Rapidly Urbanising Namibian Cities: A 2003 Perspective

This study addresses a current research gap in Engineering concerning Design of Sustainable Transportation Networks for Rapidly Growing African Cities in Namibia. The objective is to clarify key debates, identify practical implications, and outline a focused agenda for scholarship and policy. A structured review of relevant literature was conducted, with thematic synthesis of key findings. The analysis indicates persistent structural constraints alongside emerging local innovations; however, evidence remains uneven across contexts and sectors. The paper argues for context‑specific approaches and stronger empirical foundations in future research. Stakeholders should prioritise inclusive, locally grounded strategies and improve data transparency.
