Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2024-25

Planning and management of infrastructures in a social, territorial, environmental and economically sustainable way, from a multidisciplinary point of view.


Likewise, the location of uses in the territory, the spatial distribution of economic activity, and the needs of transport demand are interrelated when it comes to facing the design of infrastructures, but also when acting on the territory.


The subject has as a general objective of an integrated vision, both in the scale (city, territory, country), and in the techniques (transport engineering, urban planning, environment, etc.), which allows its analysis from a complex perspective.
