FAG3187 Sustainable Mobility 3.0 credits

The course is built on the fundamental concepts of sustainability and equity applied in transport planning. It will encourage norm critical thinking of traditional and contemporary approaches to mobility with the lens of sustainability and equity. The changing socio-technological landscape will be considered. Evaluation of novel transport solutions and strategies will be discussed using different tools and methods (e.g. scenario analysis, strategy evaluation, backcasting).
