Transport and Urban Planning

What it is about

In this module you will gain fundamental knowledge about traffic, mobility and urban planning. You will learn the causes and spatial-temporal distribution of traffic, how infrastructure and land-use planning relate to each other, and how demand and supply influence each other. In the end you will be able to analyze complex transport and urban planning processes and derive planning implications from them.

What you will be able to do

• Analyse of complex traffic, mobility and urban planning processes
• Recognizing reasons for traffic and its spatial-temporal distribution
• Deriving conclusions for planning and infrastructure design
• Knowledge of interactions between traffic and spatial planning
• Foundational knowledge on means of transport, networks, data, surveys and demand analysis
• Planning knowledge for non-motorized traffic and parking planning
