Make the participant think about multiple mobility options and the dynamics around it

Ready to imagine and create human-centered mobility futures? Using cycling as a lens to view pressing mobility and sustainability issues of today, this 3 course specialization is about opening possibilities for more resiliant and convivial cities of tomorrow. First, we use the Netherlands a as a case study for a cycling based mobility system in Unraveling the Cycling City. Then, we invite you to reflect on our mainstream mobility narrative built on engineering and economics in Alternative Mobility Narratives. Finally, we look at the role of innovation in creating an easier, safer and more accessible mobility systems in Being Smart about Cycling Futures.

I would really like to see this course as the intro to a larger specialization. It touched every so briefly on many things and it would have been great to have each expanded.
TL
Interesting perspectives. Exposure to unique ideas and many articles from academia helps frame up new ideas on transportation policy as related to cycling.
U
Very interesting and much more informative than I expected. I loved it so much that I actually kept learning and finished it early. :)

The course took me to further distance with diffent angles in making cycling city works. Good different perspectives with good examples and cases.

It is a really a well laid out course. It goes deep into understanding the cycling culture in the Netherlands and cycling requirements.

The course has selected really interesting articles and videos. The course gave me a much more open view, it taught me to see opportunities instead of seeing only problems with cycling and cities.

Very interesting and stimulating, which has made me reflect on the role of language and narratives in shaping our visions on mobility, transport policy and mobility innovation. The course has offered me various perspectives and tools to analyze and question the dominant narrative about mobility, based on engineering and economics, and to explore other alternative and meaningful narratives, such as mobility as unnecessary, as common, as a game or as interaction. The course has also invited me to apply what I have learned to a mobility innovation case of my choice, using the pattern language method and dynamic systems modeling. The course is well structured, with videos, readings, quizzes and practical activities that facilitate learning and participation. The course is taught by experts on the subject, who transmit their knowledge and passion for mobility in a clear and entertaining way. The course is free and available in English with Spanish subtitles.
The course expanded my understanding of different views and approaches to mobility. After completing the course I will follow up on the references from the course literature to dig deeper into the topic.
Alternative Mobility Narratives is a very inspiring course that helped me get further into the subject of how to plan and communicate mobility to my clients and to the public in general. I recommend it.

some of the content is great, but some is really poor audio, some is old, some is just a ted talk. I like the content and i like the instructors, but a little more high quality production would be nice at times.
Great Food for Thoughts - please include stimulus to touch and include mobility of goods
Automotive industry veteran, took this course with an open mindset to explore disruptive and emerging trends around mobility. Did not disappoint; albeit being centered around cycling, there are many lessons that can be drawn for mobility as a whole and it provides useful insights on mobility as disutility, as play ,as interaction etc. and potential paradigm shifts from the status quo.

Very interesting class, with good speakers. It was good to reflect on how we approach time spent underway.
Very interesting course, many links to reading materials are no longer available or only if you make an account somewhere, that was a shame, because i would have loved to read it
