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.

Economics

Economics (ˌɛkəˈnɒmᵻks,_ˌiːkə-) is a social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Economics focuses on the behaviour and interactions of economic agents and how economies work. Microeconomics analyzes what's viewed as basic elements in the economy, including individual agents and markets, their interactions, and the outcomes of interactions. Individual agents may include, for example, households, firms, buyers, and sellers.

Economic mobility

Economic mobility is the ability of an individual, family or some other group to improve (or lower) their economic status—usually measured in income. Economic mobility is often measured by movement between income quintiles. Economic mobility may be considered a type of social mobility, which is often measured in change in income. There are many different ideas in the literature as to what constitutes a good mathematical measure of mobility, each with their own advantages and drawbacks.
