3 Smart Technologies and Changing Behaviours Globally, transport is undergoing important changes in technology and user behaviour. This residential course offers the latest thinking on how such changes can be understood, and what their interactions mean for the future of transport demand. Governing Transitions in Urban Transport Cities are increasingly the places where technological, behavioural and institutional transitions in transport have the greatest impact. This course explores how such transformations can be facilitated and steered through policy and planning. Infrastructure, Development and Finance The planning, management and appraisal of transport infrastructure plays a key role in economic development. This course introduces a range of approaches to think critically about transport investments, from megaprojects to small-scale infrastructure developments. Health, Wellbeing and Transport Increasingly, concerns about health outcomes in a range of contexts are linked to transport and mobility issues. This course considers health, wellbeing and social equity across spatial scales, geographical contexts and transport modes.

4 Why Oxford? Attending the course on technologies and changing behaviours has been a very rewarding experience both from the professional and personal perspective. Transport consultancy is nowadays very engineering and technology driven, which sometimes leaves the human and behavioural component of any transport intervention aside. This course challenges established approaches and many of its lectures are great mind openers. The biggest asset I take with me is a new window to look through and an additional perspective to solve transport issues. This is something I can directly apply to my daily work as a transport consultant, which hopefully will enrich the solutions when working together with my clients. Gabriel Martinez, INECO Attended March and September 2017 courses
