Course: MUPD01 25/26 Innovative Urban Futures Seminar

How Cities Move: The Interplay of Technology, User Behavior, and Planning

Innovative Urban Futures examines how movement shapes cities by exploring the relationship between transport systems, user behavior, and emerging technologies. The seminar distinguishes between transport as infrastructure-driven systems and mobility as a human-centered framework shaped by social, cultural, and economic factors. Through theoretical discussions and applied analysis, students investigate how data-driven tools and digital technologies influence urban planning, while also enabling new forms of citizen participation and feedback. A central component of the course is a collaborative project focused on private car dependency, where students develop strategies informed by travel behavior, land use, and evolving mobility technologies. By bridging analysis and design, the seminar fosters innovative and context-sensitive approaches to creating more sustainable, efficient, and equitable urban mobility systems.
