Class Mobility and Transport Planning

The CU focus on a set of problems related to mobility, one of the main factors to territorial development. The different way of movement (mobility) relating the need for services and structures, is an important area for urbanist formation.

1. Interaction ordering of territorial transport; 2. Transports and circulation;

3. Transport systems;

4. Territorial planning vs transports;

5. Analysis and evaluation of circulation systems entitlements;

6. Planning and management of circulation

The preparation of a transversal work, common to most of the curricular units, which contains the particularities of each UC, is a practice that promotes a specific understanding of the subjects specific to each UC and knowledge of their relationships in the context of work in urban planning, preparing the student to solve complex problems. Seminar classes, where different topics are addressed in a coordinated manner by different lecturers, allow for a broader approach and the consolidation of more comprehensive knowledge in the fulfilment of the course programme.
