Course overview

This course aims to introduce students to a range of themes relevant to the provision of transport and infrastructure in development, in both urban and regional settings, such as: the role of transport and infrastructure as determinants of urban form; key considerations in master-planning transport and infrastructure systems (water, energy and communications); the planning issues associated with the planning of major infrastructure elements; transport modelling; public transport; planning activity centres; transport networks; and planning for zero carbon emissions transport and infrastructure. This course develops a student’s problem-solving skills for the purposes of developing a strategic transport and infrastructure master plan for a proposed or developed area.

  • Infrastructure Elements And Issues
  • Infrastructure Master Planning
  • Matching Supply To Demand In Infrastructure Master Planning

Course learning outcomes

  • Explain transport and infrastructure planning theories, contemporary and emerging transport and infrastructure planning debates, transport and infrastructure knowledge, policy and techniques
  • Critically evaluate the characteristics of different transport and infrastructure solutions, considering the implications of emerging technologies required to transition to a zero-carbon emissions world
  • Analyse and model inter-relationships between transport planning, infrastructure systems (for water, energy, and smart city technologies), waste management and biosystems in terms of urban development choices and planning urban form.
  • Develop and design an evidence-based transport and infrastructure master plan
