Professor Harvey Miller from the Ohio State University will deliver a U.S. Speaker Program Virtual Lecture in the Webinar Series on Mobility and Human-Scale Cities

Already for the second time, the Mobility Lab of the University of Tartu invites all people interested in mobility analysis, transport planning and urban liveability to take part in the public online lecture series “Mobility Analysis and Transport Planning for Human-Scale Cities”.  

The lecture series seeks to answer the question of how to promote human-scale, sustainable, and just cities through mobility analysis and transport planning. The lectures address transport policy, social transitions towards sustainable mobility systems, the social, environmental and health aspects of mobility and transport, accessibility concept, travel modes and their integration, and novel data and methods in mobility analysis and transport planning. The lecture series features experts and scholars in the field of mobility and transport from Estonia and beyond.
