Kursbeschreibung

Building on the basic course on SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, you will deepen your knowledge of urban transport solutions and learn how their impact can be positively influenced. In this online course, you will learn to explain the origins of transport, understand basic concepts and parameters of mobility, and analyse mobility-related challenges. You will develop solutions for sustainable transport design and develop a reflective attitude toward sustainable mobility development.

Das wirst Du lernen

After successfully completing the module, you will be able to:

  • explain how traffic arises:
  • explain the basic concepts and parameters relating to mobility/transport
  • explain mobility- and transport-related challenges
  • identify links with related disciplines
  • name various approaches to sustainable transport design
  • incorporate positive examples of sustainable mobility and transport solutions in your argumentation
  • develop a thoughtful attitude towards sustainable mobility and transport development

Damit wirst Du Dich beschäftigen

Building on what you learned from the basic course on SDG 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), you will gain a closer insight into mobility- and transport-related challenges and solution approaches for sustainable urban spaces.

You will acquire the fundamentals and learn about the impact of transport on urban living spaces, but also about how we can influence these effects and about the places where new approaches are already being adopted. 

So ist Dein Kurs aufgebaut

1. Basics

What do we mean by mobility? How does traffic arise? The introduction is also intended to show how mobility and transport can be quantified, and what factors influence mobility behaviour.

2. Challenges

What challenges does transport pose for towns, cities and municipalities? This section of the course aims to shed light on these and other issues, present the fundamentals and raise awareness of the need to act.

3. Building blocks for sustainable mobility

How can the challenges discussed in the previous sections be met? What strategies can we pursue and who is involved? This section sets out to explore possible solutions.

4. Best practice

Where are the approaches to sustainable transport development already working? How were the change processes initiated and implemented? Three examples are used to illustrate what form a transformation to sustainable transport solutions may take.

So lernst Du

The course teaches you the most important content in text form, supported by illustrations and videos. Interactive elements are incorporated throughout to encourage you to participate. You can apply what you have learned directly in the short exercises. At the end of each chapter, there is also a short final test.
