Transports and Sustainable Mobility

Recommended Prerequisites

Not applicable.

Teaching Methods

A structure composed of practical theoretical classes is foreseen, each class will have exposure of the essential material to the development of each stage of the proposed work, which will be followed by practical exercises and/or the analysis of case studies, with the students being called to have an interventional and collaborative role through the presentation of diagnoses and proposals.

Learning Outcomes

Explain and develop the importance of articulating Transport Planning policies and Sustainable Urban Development policies (economically, socially, environmentally, and institutionally).

To encourage the study and application of the main concepts and methods that allow demonstrating that it is through this articulation that the sustainable management of urban mobility is promoted. This demonstration should be based on the recognized science and practical examples or benchmarking.

Develop in students critical thinking focused on sustainability concerns.

Ensure the acquisition of skills in the diagnosis and programming of sustainable urban mobility, through project analysis and practical exercises.
