The city of Accra, Ghana, is experiencing rapid urbanization and increased transportation demands, posing significant challenges to its transportation infrastructure. This study explores strategies for enhancing the resilience of Accra’s transportation system, focusing on mitigating the impacts of climate change, population growth, and urban congestion. By assessing the vulnerabilities of existing transportation networks, the research identifies key weaknesses in the infrastructure, including inadequate drainage systems, traffic congestion, and limited connectivity. The study proposes a multi-faceted approach that incorporates sustainable urban planning, smart transportation technologies, and climate-adaptive infrastructure. Recommendations include the integration of green infrastructure, improved public transit systems, and the adoption of resilient road networks that can withstand extreme weather events. The findings aim to guide policymakers, urban planners, and engineers in building a more resilient and sustainable transportation infrastructure for Accra, ensuring its capacity to support economic growth while minimizing disruptions caused by climate change and urban stresses.
