AG2303 Project in urban mobility and sustainable transformation 6.0 credits

The course comprises a combination of lectures and seminars, partly supporting a project that runs throughout its duration. During the course, students will engage with:

• real cases of urban mobility, employing them as a living laboratory in which to analyse and investigate various aspects, with the support of established theories, methods and models.
• an interdisciplinary approach that builds on students’ diverse backgrounds and knowledge from several disciplines;
• knowledge from urban and transport planning, project management, impact assessment, and sustainability transformation and change;
• discussions on how different forms of innovation can contribute to urban mobility.

On successful completion of the course, students will, from a sustainable urban mobility perspective, be able to:

• assess, evaluate and improve existing plans and solutions based on established knowledge, and evaluate potential barriers to successful implementation;
• analyse proposed measures from a multi-stakeholder perspective, including citizens and end-users, considering political, regulatory, economic, privacy, security and sustainability aspects;
• propose appropriate project management strategies;
• evaluate and discuss the applicability of acquired theories, methods and processes in a practical context;
• discuss various aspects of innovation and how they can contribute to sustainable mobility in cities;
• prepare an evaluation report.
