MOOC

Mobility planning

Description

Beyond transportation, mobility encompasses a multitude of phenomena and realities that are constantly changing and interacting. This implies political choices over time, which are at the heart of the planning exercise. Over the course of 5 weeks and with the participation of numerous guest speakers, the course will provide you with theoretical elements, tools, techniques and practical examples to help you undertake a mobility planning process.

This MOOC is the product of a collaboration between two research laboratories: the Urban Sociology Laboratory at EPFL and the Aménagement Economie Transport Laboratory at ENTPE, University of Lyon.
