Course Description:
In view of constantly diversifying spatial-temporal relations and inter dependencies, the course explains trends and aspects of mobility in an urban and global context. Students acquire basic knowledge of processes and factors that lead to the demand for, and development of, mobility. This enables them to identify effects occurring from current transport developments and to evaluate strategies and measures targeting related problems. The set of lectures focuses on characteristics of different types and modes of travel, theoretical approaches, and practical concepts in the field of transport geography. Combined with a GIS practical and group work to apply these approaches and related knowledge, the course delivers insights into topical issues in the field of transport policy and planning.
