Course Description
The module is dealing with the crucial interrelation between urban development and urban mobility: City forms mobility city forms mobility. Usually the topics of mobility and urban development are being taught independently - but in order to deal with the challenges our cities are facing now and in the near future we need to deal with this in a comprehensive way looking at the urban system. Mitigation and adaptation of climate change, pollution and their effects on public health and last but not least the urgently needed quality of life in cities have to be discussed. This module will support the integrated approach and cover challenges, objectives, fields, concepts, and strategies for a better urban mobility. Also it will present a number of successful concepts for a mobility which will support the idea of cities for people instead of cities for cars.
Course Objectives
City forms mobility forms city - this sums up the interrelation between mobility and urban development in five words. The course will impart knowledge about urban development and relate this to urban mobility. Bachelor or Master programs focus on urban development, urban planning and urban design need to focus on fields e.g. transportation, mobility, health, etc. And vice versa: transportation studies and courses on urban traffic must include urban planning and urban design. The course is pursuing the objective to show the interrelations between the two fields from the systemic perspective of urban development and the quality of life of the people. |
