Transforming Urban Mobility: Components of Transport Planning for Sustainable Cities at FutureLearn Course details
- Good transport systems and projects are critical to the development of sustainable cities.
- On this course, you'll consider the Avoid-Shift-Improve (ASI) framework "particularly the 'Shift' and 'Improve' dimensions" as key components of a sustainable urban mobility strategy.
- As cities grow, transport and city planners have to identify how to reduce emissions in an urban landscape still dominated by cars.
- Creating transport systems that encourage sustainable travel behaviours is crucial. You'll learn how to improve public transport, walking and cycling and how to improve the environmental impact of vehicles.
- You'll examine some of the key components of sustainable urban mobility, including the instruments of traffic demand management and the different types of public transport, including metro, tramway, bus rapid transit, cable car, and other means of travel.
- You'll consider the role of active mobility and streetscape design and the potential of vehicle technologies to improve environmental performance.
- Finally, you'll come away able to identify how effective decision-making and participatory processes help us to develop innovative transport strategies.
