This four-week course will help you explore different approaches, cases, and applications of collaborative planning as a way of solving these challenges.
Furthermore, you will learn how to answer the many questions raised when trying to implement this type of strategy.
By the end of this engaging online course, you will understand how successful and sustainable urban mobility planning depends on the collaboration between citizens and communities, city officials, private businesses, and other stakeholders.
To deepen your understanding of the complexity and context of the operational environment that planners work in, you will learn about policymaking and its impact on urban mobility planning.
