Course Description

How do we make streets disappear and cities thrive? Planning and design of the built environment for bicycles and pedestrians is an essential practice in reshaping the cities of the future.

This course will cover current practices in planning and implementation of cities for biking and walking, including a focus on background and policy; basic data gathering techniques; interventions; concept planning and design; transportation demand management; and advocacy skills.
