Transforming Urban Mobility: Introduction to Transport Planning for Sustainable Cities
Posted 2 years ago by UCL (University College London)
Learn how urban mobility projects can help to create sustainable cities
Good transport systems and projects are critical to the development of environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive cities.
This course considers the impacts of motorisation, our current unsustainable travel patterns, and the framework for changing to sustainable urban mobility.
Understand the components of a sustainable urban mobility strategy
You’ll explore the impacts of different transport systems and discover approaches to transport planning that help cities become more sustainable.
You’ll also examine the different dimensions of sustainable urban mobility, including the Avoid-Shift-Improve (ASI) framework, which strives to achieve significant GHG emission reductions, reduced energy consumption, less congestion, with the final objective being to create more liveable cities.
Discover how sustainable urban mobility is most effectively delivered
You’ll understand the role of urban planning in supporting the use of public transport, walking and cycling, and how integrated solutions can work across cities worldwide.
You’ll experience how integrated urban and transport planning helps improve the welfare of people and their communities, shaping travel behaviours and neighborhoods into healthier, more efficient spaces.
You’ll also consider how sustainable land use planning helps improve the welfare of people and their communities, shaping their urban areas and neighborhoods into healthier, more efficient spaces.
Learn from planning experts at the UCL Bartlett School of Planning and the Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI)
The Bartlett School of Planning is one of the leading research-led planning schools in the world. In collaboration with TUMI, you’ll learn about planning, design and management of cities, their transport systems, and how you can shape their future.
