What You'll Learn

An accessible introduction to how cities move people — and why most of them do it badly. Covers the fundamental concepts of urban mobility, transport planning, and how cities can prepare for a future with less car dependence.

Key Topics

  • Module 1: Mobility and Urban Space — how transport modes consume radically different amounts of city space (one car lane = space for 14 bicycle lanes)
  • Core concepts of urban mobility planning
  • Innovative approaches to transport systems
  • How cities can improve transport and support broader mobility access
  • Future technologies transforming urban movement

Why This Matters for She Cycles

Module 1 alone gives you the most powerful visual argument for cycling: the space comparison. One photo showing how much road space 60 cars vs. 60 bicycles vs. 60 bus passengers take is worth a thousand policy documents.
