For the fourth spring, the Mobility Lab at the University of Tartu invites everyone interested in sustainable mobility and urban planning topics to participate in the online lecture series featuring leading experts and scholars in mobility and transport from Estonia and beyond. The lectures will be held either in English or Estonian.
The lecture series addresses questions about promoting human-scale, sustainable, and just cities through mobility analysis and transport planning. This year, the lectures will address mobility planning in strategic and spatial plans, the concept of the 15-minute city, urban initiatives on the integration of travel modes, the environmental quality of street space and related social and health aspects, and new directions in higher education for teaching mobility and land-use planning.
