Los buenos sistemas y proyectos de transporte son fundamentales para el desarrollo de ciudades ecológicamente sostenibles y socialmente inclusivas.
En este curso, estudiarás el enfoque “Evitar-Cambiar-Mejorar” (ECM) – en particular las dimensiones “Cambiar” y “Mejorar” – como componentes clave de una estrategia de movilidad urbana sostenible.
A medida que crecen las ciudades, las y los planificadores urbanos y de transporte tienen que identificar cómo reducir las emisiones en un paisaje urbano todavía dominado por el automóvil.
Es crucial crear sistemas de transporte que fomenten comportamientos de viaje sostenibles. Aprenderás a mejorar el transporte público, los desplazamientos a pie y en bicicleta y a mejorar el impacto ambiental de los vehículos.
Examinarás algunos de los componentes clave de la movilidad urbana sostenible, incluidas las medidas de gestión de la demanda de transporte y los diferentes tipos de transporte público, como el metro, el tranvía, el tránsito rápido de autobuses, el teleférico y otros medios de viaje.
Considerarás el papel de la movilidad activa y el diseño del paisaje urbano y el potencial de las tecnologías de los vehículos para mejorar el impacto medioambiental.
Por último, serás capaz de identificar cómo la toma de decisiones eficaz y los procesos participativos nos ayudan a desarrollar estrategias de transporte innovadoras.
El curso resulta más adecuado para las y los profesionales del ámbito de transporte y planeación urbana en el Sur Global y el Norte Global, incluida África, Latinoamérica y Asia.
Esto incluye a académicos, investigadores, estudiantes y aquellos que trabajan con autoridades municipales y nacionales, empresas de consultoría y a la sociedad civil.
Tendrá un interés más amplio para otras partes interesadas y miembros del público, incluso para los del Norte Global. De hecho, será de interés para cualquiera que esté interesado en comprender cómo la movilidad urbana sostenible puede apoyar la planificación de grandes ciudades.
Este curso es la continuación de “Transformando la Movilidad Urbana: Introducción a la Planeación del Transporte para Ciudades Sostenibles”. Recomendamos completar ese curso antes de este.
