A new public online lecture series “Mobility analysis and planning for human-scale cities”

A new public online lecture series “Mobility analysis and planning for human-scale cities” arranged by the Mobility Lab, Department of Geography, starts on March 10^th.  

The lecture series features experts and leading scholars in the field of mobility and transport from Estonia and around the world. In the series, we seek to answer the question of how to promote human-scale, sustainable, and just cities through mobility analysis and transport planning. The lectures address transport policy, social, environmental and health aspects of mobility and transport, traditional and novel methods in mobility analysis and transport planning, and innovative technologies and future solutions and their social impact.  

The lecture series will take place from March 10 to April 26, 2022. It is arranged within the Transport Planning master course and features lectures both in Estonian and English. The lecture series is supported by the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Network action CCAMEU—Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility: EU and Australasian Innovations.
