Course Aims | ||||||||
This course aims to cover a wide range of transport issues, with a focus on both conventional system efficiency and unconventional policy outcomes (financial viability, economic competitiveness, social equity, and environmental sustainability in urban contexts). Through a series of lectures and assignments, students will try to understand the importance of policy and planning, accompanied by the installation of innovative and green infrastructure and technologies, in guiding sustainable urban development across Hong Kong, Chinese city-regions, and other global city cases. Students are expected to cope with multi-faceted transportation issues and challenges by integrating multiple mobility options (rail, bus, taxi, bike, walk, air, ship, and commercial vehicle) and enhancing social accessibilities through pricing, land management, housing supply, and environmental policies and planning tools in path-dependent and local sensitive ways. | ||||||||
