Course on Bicycle Planning Next Spring
Some of you may be interested in this:
The Department of City and Regional Planning is offering a new graduate course in pedestrian and bicycle planning this coming spring. Please forward this course information to your students.
PLAN 799 section 5. Pedestrian and Bicycle Planning, 3 credits (M,W 2-3:15pm)
Community design practices are being reevaluated as we strive towards healthy, mobile, and sustainable cities and regions. Integration of pedestrian and bicycle planning into transportation planning is essential in creating a sustainable system to achieve these goals.Pedestrian and bicycle transportation are influenced by micro-scale elements of the built environment, such
as sidewalks, bicycle lanes, traffic speeds, and roadway crossings, as well as by macro-scale characteristics, such as community-wide pathway systems and regional land use patterns.
Addressing walking and bicycling issues requires the bridging of many disciplines, including urban planning/design, civil engineering, public health, and public administration. This course brings experiences from professionals in many fields (both public and private) and researchers at the local and national level into the classroom to provide a comprehensive overview of best planning practices to support increased walking and bicycling.
Any questions regarding the course can be directed towards:
Dr. Daniel Rodriguez (danrod@email.unc.edu) in the Department of City and Regional Planning or to Laura Sandt (sandt@hsrc.unc.edu) and Carl Sundstrom (sundstrom@hsrc.unc.edu) in UNC's Highway Safety Research Center.
