<p><strong>Welcome to Leveraging Urban Mobility Disruption to Create Better Cities!</strong></p>
<p>The course length is 10 weeks (8 weeks of lectures, with the remaining two weeks left for finalizing grading, assignments, and readings).</p>
<div class="preview-expand-body mb-4 expanded">
<div class="course-description">
<p>Over the next 8 modules, we will explore a wide variety of topics that relate to recently-emerged new mobility systems and learn how new mobility can be leveraged to increase equity, support health, and improve accessibility. The course material is designed to have a global impact by taking advantage of an established network of academic partners, each bringing relevant expertise and representing distinct empirical settings. The international nature of this course will allow you to gain multiple social perspectives and familiarity with transportation challenges and solutions from different parts of the world.</p>
<p>This course aims to bridge the gap between academia and practice; therefore we will suggest a wide variety of readings. At the end of each module, there will be a list of readings and a discussion forum. We encourage you to dive deeper into the topics and take advantage of the readings we selected. The types of readings include journal articles, popular press articles, and reports.</p>
<p>Each week's course content, including lectures, discussion boards, and graded comprehension questions and assignments, will become available at <strong>15:00 UTC (<a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc" target="[object Object]">coordinated universal time</a>) on Tuesdays.</strong></p>
<p><strong>By the end of the course:</strong></p>
