abstract |
Like many developing nations, Cuba has undergone - and continues to undergo - a revolution
in the way its society lives, works and accesses mobility. However, unlike other developing
nations, Cuba is unique in that it has faced enormous pressures for the past forty
years due to an economic blockade by its erstwhile dominant trading partner, the United
States. Furthermore, this economic pressure was exacerbated in the early 1990s with
the political and economic collapse of the Former Soviet Union, and the Eastern European
Socialist countries – which had replaced the United States as Cuba's principal trading
partners. These events have led to a transformation in how goods and people are moved,
not least because of a huge reduction in the amount of hard currency available to
pay for fuel, vehicles and spare parts. This resulted in a number of innovative behavioural
and technological outcomes.
Cuba thus provides an enhanced example of how physical, economic and social factors
influence the development of transport systems. This unusually severe situation contains
lessons for other countries seeking to develop more sustainable transport systems.
In particular, the case graphically illustrates the link between economic and transport
growth. The paper will outline the development of transport practices in Cuba thus
far, look at the options available for the future and draw conclusions on what other
countries can learn from the Cuban experience. |
