Description
As cities continue to grow and evolve, there is an increasing need for innovative mobility solutions that cater to the changing needs of urban populations. Lifestyle shifts, demographic changes, and the rise of "Mobility-as-a-Service" (MaaS) are driving a shift from auto-centric planning to a more people-oriented approach. This course explores the emergence of a new mobility ecosystem, examining the integration of disruptive technologies like electrification, automation, and artificial intelligence and how they are reshaping urban transportation.

This course will be particularly beneficial to individuals working in business development, intelligent transport systems, transit planning, and shared mobility operations. Additionally, policy makers, data analysts, artificial intelligence practitioners, and environment analysts looking to integrate innovative mobility solutions into their practices will gain valuable knowledge.

The course also welcomes those from mobility start-ups, maintenance and operations of shared vehicles or bicycles, and financial or economic analysis sectors.
