Introduction to transport planning
Welcome to the second week of the course! In this week, we will cover the topic of transport planning or the profession of transport planners, and we will discuss the transport planning data measurement and management methods typically employed for developing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP).
The above video exlplains the crucial role of transport planners who develop long-term visions, plans, and policies for urban mobility. While it covers foundational concepts and methods, we recognise that the topic of transport planning data is extensive. Additional resources are provided below for further exploration, particularly for those working in fast-growing, emerging cities where data challenges are common.
Join us as we set the stage for understanding the intersection of data and transport planning in the weeks ahead.
