Description

This course aims to provide an introductory understanding of the role of transport planning as a planning tool that can be used to achieve positive planning outcomes in the urban built form. It provides an introduction to the theoretical, applied and policy aspects of transportation planning with special reference to public transport issues in Sydney. It covers introductory elements of transport planning and forecasting and their place in the planning process, specific elements of transport planning theory, and case studies through lectures, guest lectures and site visits. The course is underpinned by notions of transport-land use planning integration and sustainability.
