  • Flyovers, Freeways and the Politics of Urban Mobility Stephen Graham
    Elite Avenues: Flyovers, Freeways and the Politics of Urban Mobility Stephen Graham Newcastle University 1 Abstract Development and planning elites across many of the burgeoning megacities of the global south still work powerfully to fetishise elevated highways or flyovers as part of their efforts at “worlding” their cities. In such a context, and given the neglect of such processes in recent urban and mobilities literatures, this article presents an international and interdisciplinary analysis of the urban and vertical politics of raised flyovers, freeways and expressways. It argues that such highways need to be seen as important elements within broader processes of three-dimensional social segregation and secession within and between cities which privilege the mobilities of the privileged. The paper falls into six sections. Following the introduction, the complex genealogies of flyover urban design are discussed. Discussion then moves to the vertical politics of flyovers in the west Bank and post-Apartheid South Africa; the elite imaginings surrounding flyover construction in Mumbai; the political struggles surrounding the ribbons of space beneath flyover systems; and the efforts to bury or re-appropriate the landscapes of raised flyovers. Keywords Highways/freeways Flyovers Mobilities Infrastructure Verticality 2 Urban Justice Introduction: Elite Avenues “The freeway represents a twentieth-century fantasy of uninflected uninterrupted, flow” (Mokwe, 2010; 12). “Overhead driveways and their sprawling, spaghetti- like networks have come

  • London Cycling Campaign 15 March 2016 Paddington to Wood Lane Via
    London Cycling Campaign 15 March 2016 Paddington to Wood Lane via Westway overall The London Cycling Campaign is the capital’s leading cycling organisation with more than 12,000 members and 40,000 supporters. We welcome the opportunity to comment on these plans and our response was developed with input from the co-chairs of our Infrastructure Review Group and our local groups the Westminster Cycling Campaign, Kensington & Chelsea Cycling Campaign, Ealing Cycling Campaign, HF Cyclists, and in support of their consultation responses. On balance, we support this scheme. We have serious reservations about the choice to use the Westway. A route that took in surface streets would likely be superior – with more opportunities for cyclists to enter and exit the Cycle Superhighway where they chose (possibly the planned CS9?). But we recognise that due to the intransigence of some London councils, such a scheme is currently unlikely to move forward, unfortunately. The London Cycling Campaign would also like to see all schemes given a CLoS rating (as well as adhering to the latest London Cycle Design Standards) that demonstrates significant improvement from the current layout will be achieved for cycling, and that eliminates all “critical fails” in any proposed design before being funded for construction, let alone public consultation. Section 1 - Westbourne Terrace We have serious concerns about hook risks at the junctions here. Particularly designs such as the Cleveland Terrace junction look set to put cyclists and left-turning traffic in direct conflict. This is not acceptable – and a redesign of these junctions to favour safety over motor vehicle capacity has to be a priority.

The Challenge The elevated A40(M) motorway (or the Westway as it is known locally) slices through the West London communities of Paddington, Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove. After 30 years of exposure to city pollution, the surfaces of the flyover had blackened and the structure was generally perceived as dull. The flyover had not only become dirty and ugly, the areas beneath it were blighted by crime and dereliction. For local communities, these areas felt unsafe and intimidating and presented a possible health risk.
