What is the Strategic Mobility Planning for Complex Urban course about?
You're responsible for planning that must balance technical feasibility, community needs, political timelines, and equity outcomes. Traditional models fail when behavior, culture, and environment interact unpredictably, especially in child mobility, school routes, and neighborhood access. Without a structured way to analyze layers beyond the instrumental, initiatives lose momentum or deliver unintended consequences.
