Sustainable Urban Mobility Transitions

The world’s cities are changing. New technologies, business models, and global sustainability goals are transforming our cities and how we move. Today’s urban planners and transport engineers face an array of challenges, necessitating the ability to create urban environments that consume fewer resources, contribute less to climate change, and support more liveable and healthy neighbourhoods.

Addressing such challenges requires embracing complexity and growing competencies beyond the traditional urban planning and civil engineering disciplines; including robust entrepreneurial skills to steer innovations into practice. The Sustainable Urban Mobility Transitions programme provides such experience, preparing students to become the next urban innovators and leaders in urban mobility.

The Sustainable Urban Mobility Transitions programme welcomes students with an array of backgrounds and experiences. The programme is ideal for students with a bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Information Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Geoinformation Technology, Urban Planning, Geography and/or Economics. Additional disciplines are welcome, provided students have a solid foundation in quantitative problem-solving and verifiable experience in Programming, Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Mathematical Statistics.
