SUSTAINABILITY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TRANSPORT
(objectives)
This course focuses on the critical role transportation plays in economic, social, and environmental sustainability. In fact, transportation is global and fundamental to the economy and society, so effective action requires appropriate coordination both vertically, among different governance levels, and horizontally, among various stakeholders. The objective is to show what governments and stakeholders can do to effectively plan and implement a smart, green and efficient transport system, also through the illustration of case studies related to the definition and evaluation of transport policies.
