This course assesses the opportunities to develop a sustainable transport system in Britain and elsewhere. It questions whether mobility is a fundamental human right; whether we can rely on technological solutions to mitigate environmental problems from transport; how the environmental, social and economic costs and benefits of new transport infrastructure can be traded off against each other; the role of spatial structure in the development of sustainable transport systems and the extent to which urban and rural challenges require fundamentally different solutions.

| Feedback |
The proposed new weighting is Coursework 40% Exam 60%. Student feedback which suggests that the current weighting places too much emphasis on the exam The contribution of the Transport Question Time Debate (a recently added in course actiuvity) and associated student effort is better reflected by an uplift in the weighting of the coursework assignment. The assignment is linked to the debate as well as relating to many of the lectures in the first half of the course. |
