Master Class: Sustainable Urban Mobility

How can sustainable mobility contribute to the quality of life in urban areas?

This is the key question in the international master class 'Sustainable Urban Mobility' in Amsterdam.

 

The modern city is confronted with many challenges concurrently: air pollution, noise, spatial segregation, congestion and a lack of accessibility. In the master class urban planning, economics, psychology and sustainability are integrated into the common fields of mobility, transport and traffic management. Participants are introduced to a new approach to sustainable urban mobility: the most optimal blend of economic, environmental and social solutions to the myriad of challenges we face.

 

The Nicis Institute, Amsterdam Innovation Motor, Delft University of Technology, Transumo and Velo Mondial have joined forces in the development of this master class. The master class is supported by 'Amsterdam Cycling to Sustainability'. In the three-day programme 14 -16 September 2009 — the expertise of the various partners is combined to offer the participants state of the art knowledge on the conceptual and practical implications of developments in the field of sustainable mobility in Europe's cities.
