Master Class Sustainable Urban Mobility – Amsterdam, 14-16 September 2009 14-09-2009 Introduction How can sustainable mobility contribute to quality of life in urban areas?

In the master class urban planning, economics, psychology and sustainability are

Participants are introduced to a new approach to sustainable urban mobility: the
most optimal blend of economic, environmental and social solutions to the myriad
of challenges we face.
Description
Nicis Institute, Amsterdam Innovation Motor, Delft University of Technology,
Transumo and Velo Mondial have joined forces in the development of this master

In the three-day programme, the expertise of the various partners is combined to

intake, participants are divided into four groups of participants that will work
together on an assignment during the master class.
