Equitable Transportation and Accessible Neighborhoods

Cities that are built to be more accessible to all of its population stand the best chance of solving the problems of deteriorating environmental quality and economic competitiveness that stem from growing traffic congestion and urban sprawl.

This course offers ways of rethinking the role of streets and whom they serve, shifting from individual transport modes toward an integrated network of multimodal user-oriented services that can temper the demand for private vehicle use.

This course highlights what cities can do to change the urban transportation sector so that it provides the underserved with more equitable access to opportunities.
