LEARNING OUTCOMES

Capabilities in:

  • integrative and participatory land use and transportation system planning in the context of urban and regional strategic spatial planning,
  • the use of scenario planning tools in developing strategic frames for urban and regional development, thus enabling coping with uncertainty,
  • strategic longer range assessment of short term decisions in land use and transportation,
  • the strategic use of normative and legislative planning tools and various incentives related to the land use and transportation system,
  • measuring land use functions with their implications to transportation,
  • planning urban logistics and the public transportation network
  • the use of theoretical concepts and models in planning work.
