Learning outcomes
|
The course focuses on transport and urban mobility characteristics and their relationship to sustainable development. The aim is to introduce students to the basic principles of planning, managing, and monitoring sustainable mobility and teach them how to apply them to real-world examples. Special emphasis is placed on developing key competences for sustainability (GreenComp), including systems thinking, critical thinking, the ability to anticipate, and acting for a sustainable future.
The student is able to orientate in individual types of transport in terms of sustainable development and sustainable transport. The course systematically develops students' green skills by fostering an understanding of sustainable development principles and their application in the field of transport. Students learn to critically assess the environmental, economic, social, and institutional aspects of transport and to design solutions that support sustainable mobility, with a focus on efficient use of infrastructure and land. They acquire skills in urban transport planning, analysis of travel behavior, participatory processes, and the development of action plans including decision-making and financing. The course promotes systems thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a long-term orientation toward sustainable solutions in transport and urban planning.
