URBPLAN 205 : Transportation Planning

Undergraduate course

Project description

The course will cover a critical analysis of land transport, transportation planning, the land transport system and management, and the interrelationship with land use activities in the urban environment. Meanwhile, this course will cover the basic theoretical matters like transportation networks and system, land use and transportation interaction, and transportation planning as well as analytical elements like trip generation, traffic management and transport modelling. This course also aims to familiarise the students with several techniques, skills and tools in urban planning, traffic engineering urban policy-making and analysis to address the problems and questions encountered in urban planning traffic engineering and policy-making contexts.
